 What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose. |
| You believe that easily which you hope for earnestly. |
| Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light; every eye, looking on, finds its own. |
| Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength. |
| Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it. |
| Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best. |
| Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize. |
| Chance happens to all, but to turn chance to account is the gift of few. |
| All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest; All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest. |
