A man becomes what he thinks about most of the time

Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind; and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.

There is no history; only biography.

A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.

With most men, scarce a link of memory holds yesterday and to-day together.

Wherever there is power, there is age. Don't be deceived by dimples and curls. I tell you that babe is a thousand years old.

Thanks to the morning light, Thanks to the foaming sea, To the uplands of New Hampshire, To the green-haired forest free.
