We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. That is our permanent state.
There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.
That which we are, we are all the while teaching, not voluntarily, but involuntarily.
Difficulties exist to be surmounted.
Drudgery, calamity, exasperation, want, are instructors in eloquence and wisdom.
Wild liberty breeds iron conscience; natures with great impulses have great resources, and return from far.
