  • Happier of happy though I be, like them I cannot take possession of the sky, mount with a thoughtless impulse, and wheel there, one of a mighty multitude whose way and motion is a harmony and dance magnificent.
  • But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.
  • 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.
  • This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
  • A day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.
  • That best portion of a good man's life; His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
  • The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life.
  • Neither evil tongues, rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all the dreary intercourse of daily life, shall ever prevail against us.
