After you have pumped your brains for thoughts and verses, there is a better poetry hinted in whistling a tune on your walk.

Every great man is unique.

Nature is no sentimentalist, - does not cosset or pamper us. We must see that the world is rough and surly, and will not mind drowning a man or a woman; but swallows your ship like a grain of dust. The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple. The diseases, the elements, fortune, gravity, lightning, respect no persons.

A deep man believes that the evil eye can whither, the heart's blessing can heal, and that love can overcome all odds.

You cannot give anything to a magnanimous person. After you have served him, he at once puts you in debt by his magnanimity.

A man cannot speak but he judges himself

People are very inclined to set moral standards for others.
