The three indispensable of genius are: understanding, feeling, and perseverance; the three things that enrich genius are: contentment of mind, the cherishing of good thoughts, and the exercise of memory

Beware of those who are homeless by choice! You have no hold on human being whose affections are without a top-root!

Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.

Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day, And woman's plighted faith.

Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth; From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.

How beautiful is night! A dewy freshness fills the silent air; No mist obscures; nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain, Breaks the serene of heaven: In full-orbed glory, yonder moon divine Rolls through the dark blue depths; Beneath her steady ray The desert circle spreads Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky. How beautiful is night!

Few people give themselves time to be friends.
