A good conscience is eight parts of courage.
If it comes to a swinging, swing all, say I.
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
After all, the commonplaces are the great poetic truths.
