The true poem is the poet's mind.
Not gold, but only man can make a people great and strong; men who, for truth and honor's sake, stand fast and suffer long.
We have more than we use.
The resources of the scholar are proportioned to his confidence in the attributes of the intellect.
A little integrity is better than any career.
Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough for literature. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
