Quotes

  • I have not skillFrom such a sharp and waspish word as "No"To pluck the sting.
  • Such souls,Whose sudden visitations daze the world,Vanish like lightning, but they leave behindA voice that in the distance far awayWakens the slumbering ages.
  • We figure to ourselvesThe thing we like; and then we build it up,As chance will have it, on the rock or sand,—For thought is tired of wandering o’er the world,And homebound Fancy runs her bark ashore.
  • He that lacks time to mourn, lacks time to mend.Eternity mourns that. ’Tis an ill cureFor life’s worst ills, to have no time to feel them.Where sorrow ’s held intrusive and turned out,There wisdom will not enter, nor true power,Nor aught that dignifies humanity.
  • An unreflected light did never yetDazzle the vision feminine.
  • The world knows nothing of its greatest men.
