Fear God, and where you go men shall think they walk in hallowed cathedrals.

Poverty consist in feeling poor.

To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.

There comes a period of the imagination to each--a later youth--the power of beauty, the power of looks, of poetry.

Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.

The results of life are uncalculated and uncalculable. The years teach much which the days never know. The persons who compose our company, converse, and come and go, and design and execute many things, and somewhat comes of it all, but an unlooked for result. The individual is always mistaken. He designed many things, and drew in other persons as coadjutors, quarrelled with some or all, blundered much, and something is done; all are a little advanced, but the individual is always mistaken. It turns out somewhat new, and very unlike what he promised himself.

Every man is entitled to be valued by his best moment.
