Master books, but do not let them master you. - Read to live, not live to read.
We are but as the instrument of Heaven.
No star ever rose or set without influence somewhere.
Rest is sweet after strife.
Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light; every eye, looking on, finds its own.
No life can be pure in its purpose, and strong in its strife, and all life not be purer and stronger thereby.
