Lose yourself in nature and find peace

I am a part and parcel of God.

Knowledge is the only elegance.

Let every man shovel out his own snow and the whole city will be passable.

Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song.

I feel the same truth how often in my trivial conversation with my neighbours, that somewhat higher in each of us overlooks this by-play, and Jove nods to Jove from behind each of us.

A man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies and hatreds of his competitors.
