Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.

Meek young men grow up in libraries.

A man cannot free himself by any self-denying ordinances, neither by water nor potatoes, nor by violent possibilities, by refusing to swear, refusing to pay taxes, by going to jail, or by taking another man's crops or squatting on his land. By none of these ways can he free himself; no, nor by paying his debts with money; only by obedience to his own genius.

Drive out Nature with a fork, she comes running back.

All writing comes by the grace of God.

Every noble activity makes room for itself.

Art is evidence of our most creative moment.
