Difficulties Are Meant To Rouse, Not Discourage.

A Man May Quarrel With Himself Alone; That Is, By Controverting His Better Instincts And Knowledge When Brought Face To Face With Temptation.

Poetry Reveals To Us The Loveliness Of Nature, Brings Back The Freshness Of Youthful Feelings, Reviews The Relish Of Simple Pleasures, Keeps Unquenched The Enthusiasm Which Warmed The Springtime Of Our Being, Refines Youthful Love, Strengthens Our Interest In Human Mature, By Vivid Delineations Of Its Tenderest And Softest Feelings, And Through The Brightness Of Its Prophetic Visions, Helps Faith To Lay Hold On The Future Life.

The Best Books For A Man Are Not Always Those Which The Wise Recommend, But Often Those Which Meet The Peculiar Wants, The Natural Thirst Of His Mind, And Therefore Awaken Interest And Rivet Thought.

Life Is A Fragment, A Moment Between Two Eternities.

What A Sublime Doctrine It Is, That Goodness Cherished Now Is Eternal Life Already Entered On!
