For what are the classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest.

There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted.

There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect.

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.

It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.

Being is the great explainer.
