Looking at God instantly reduces our disposition to dissent from our brother.
A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.
Men of character are the conscience of the society to which they belong.
By persisting in your path, though you forfeit the little, you gain the great.
I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature.
Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love.
