Quote

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

May my soul bloom in love for all existence.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Friendship! Mysterious cement of the soul, Sweet'ner of life, and solder of society.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

The soul preserves beauty.

If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

My soul is now her day, my day her night, So I lie down, and so I rise.

Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

I've spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself.
