He is a good man who can receive a gift well.

This body, full of faults, Has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.

There is always room for a man of force and he makes room for many. Society is a troop of thinkers and the best heads among them take the best places.

If in the least particular, one could derange the order of nature, who would accept the gift of life?

The world globes itself in a drop of dew.

Let us leave hurry to slaves.

Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;--and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.
