Use makes a better soldier than the most urgent considerations of duty,--familiarity with danger enabling him to estimate the danger. He sees how much is the risk, and is not afflicted with imagination; knows practically Marshal Saxe's rule, that every soldier killed costs the enemy his weight in lead.

Science surpasses the old miracles of mythology.

We aim above the mark to hit the mark.

The whole value of the dime is in knowing what to do with it.

What you are comes to you.

The true poem is the poet's mind.

Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence.
