 Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher. |
| With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things. |
| Not without hope we suffer and we mourn. |
| To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. |
| In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing. |
| Nature never did betray the heart that loved her. |
| Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them. |
| A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor. |
| The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind. |
| When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign in solitude. |
| Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity. |
| Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry; and these we adore; Plain living and high thinking are no more. |
| The ocean is a mighty harmonist. |
| Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers. |
| Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar. |
| The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. |
| Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come. |
| Faith is a passionate intuition. |
| To begin, begin. |
| What is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars. |
