Though we love goodness and not stealing, yet also we love freedom and not preaching.

Every time you wink the stars move.

The years teach much which the days never know.

Who can . . . guess how much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes?

London is the epitome of our times, and the Rome of to-day.

The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul

Every friend whom not thy fantastic will but the great and tender heart in thee craveth, shall lock thee in his embrace. And this because the heart in thee is the heart of all; not a valve, not a wall, not an intersection is there anywhere in nature, but one blood rolls uninterruptedly in endless circulation through all men, as the water of the globe is all one sea, and, truly seen, its tide is one.
