No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
True love bears all, endures all and triumphs!
Love comes unseen; we only see it go.
Love planted a rose, and the world turned sweet.
Stupidity is a talent for misconception.
It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
If a nation's literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!
Il culmine del piacere è la pura e semplice distruzione del dolore.
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
The wavering mind is but a base possession.
My little dog—a heartbeat at my feet.
To know when to be generous and when firm—that is wisdom.
How blessings brighten as they take their flight.
A Christian is the highest style of man.
The house of laughter makes a house of woe.
The man that makes a character, makes foes.
They only babble who practise not reflection.
