I have never met a man who was not my superior in some particular.

Though love repine, and reason chafe, There came a voice without reply,- "'Tis man's perdition to be safe, When for the truth he ought to die."

We find in life exactly what we put into it

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

The pleasure of life is according to the man that lives it, and not according to the work or place.

Genius is power, talent is applicability.

Love is like a hunter, who cares not for the game when once caught, which he may have pursued with the most intense and breathless eagerness. Love is strongest in pursuit; friendship in possession.
