The adventitious beauty of poetry may be felt in the greater delight with a verse given in a happy quotation than in the poem.

All goes to show that the soul in man is not an organ, but animates and exercises all the organs; is not a function, like the power of memory, of calculation, of comparison, but uses these as hands and feet; is not a faculty, but a light, is not the intellect or the will, but the master of the intellect and the will; is the background of our being, in which they lie,--an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed.

The scholar was not raised by the sacred thoughts amongst which he dwelt, but used them to selfish ends. He was a profane person,and became a showman, turning his gifts to marketable use, and not to his own sustenance and growth. It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man, as any single organ can be invigorated, and the result was monstrous.

A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.

The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.

In England every man you meet is some man's son; in America, he may be some man's father.

Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude.
