There is hope in extravagance, there is none in routine.

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.

Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.

Things are in the saddle. And ride mankind.

Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.

Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
