No facts to me are sacred; none are profane.

No man has a right perception of any truth, who has not been reacted on by it, so as to be ready to be its martyr.

The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity.

Guard your own spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds.

I see not any road of perfect peace which a man can walk but after the counsel of his own bosom.

There the great Planter plants Of fruitful worlds the grain, And with a million spells enchants The souls that walk in pain.

Thought is the seed of action.
