My giant goes with me wherever I go.

We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.

The influence of fine scenery, the presence of mountains, appeases our irritations and elevates our friendships.

Neither is life long enough for friendship. That is a serious and majestic affair.

Money is the representative of a certain quantity of corn or other commodity. It is so much warmth, so much bread.

Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee.
