A poem is made up of thoughts, each of which filled the whole sky of the poet in its turn.

We wake from one dream into another dream.

All great successes are the triumph of persistence.

All power is of one kind, a sharing of the nature of the world. The mind that is parallel with the laws of nature will be in the current of events, and strong with their strength.

A Judge may be a farmer; but he is not to geld his own pigs.

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.
