Courage multiplies the chances of success by sometimes making opportunities, and always availing itself of them; and in this sense Fortune may be said to favor fools by those who, however prudent in their opinion, are deficient in valor and enterprise.

Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind.

A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June, That to the sleeping woods all night Singeth a quiet tune.

The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of time and space.

That willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith.

Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, love and light, And calm thoughts, regular as infants' breath; And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.

Poetry: the best words in the best order.
