The dearest events are summer-rain.

Ne te quaesiveris extra." (Do not seek for things outside of yourself)

No one suspects the days to be gods.

Do not tell me of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men - that is genius... Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist... What I must do, is all that concerns me; not what the people think... Nothing can bring you peace but yourself; nothing, but the triumph of principles.

The masses have no habit of self-reliance or original action.

Why should we be cowed by the name of Action?.
