There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.
From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.
For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.
Something attempted, something done, Has earned a nights repose.
Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.
The Helicon of too many poets is not a hill crowned with sunshine and visited by the Muses and the Graces, but an old, mouldering house, full of gloom and haunted by ghosts.
The nearer the dawn the darker the night.
The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.
Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
