Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit, in every work of art; since the author of it was not misled by anything short- livedor local, but abode by real and abiding traits.

The next best thing to saying a good thing yourself is to quote one.

Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being?

Do that which you fear to do, and the fear will die.

A man must thank his defects, and stand in some terror of his talents.

Talent may frolic and juggle; genius realizes and adds.

When the gods come among men, they are not known.
