The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.
From James Russell Lowell
Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts.
Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.
Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.
In creating, the only hard thing is to begin: a grass blade's no easier to make than an oak.
Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or the handle.
Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.
