We walk alone in the world.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.

Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.

Take the place and attitude to which you see your unquestionable right, and all men acquiesce.

Foolish consistencies are the hobgoblins of small minds!

When a happy person comes into the room, it is as if another candle has been lit.

A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.
