Quote

A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want of sense.

A man's motive in the small actions of daily life, like resting a moment on his pitchfork in the sun and listening intently, may be the most important thing about that man.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.

A man has always to be busy with his thoughts if anything is to be accomplished.

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

He is not only dull in himself, but the cause of dullness in others.

He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise.

The scene is dull. Tell him to put more life into his dying.
