To Be is to live with God.

If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.

I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances.

The true poem is the poet's mind.

Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.

Everything is made of one hidden stuff.

Our best history is still poetry.
