- The quiet sense of something lost

- Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers

- The words 'far, far away' had always a strange charm.

- I sometimes find it half a sin, 

To put to words the grief I feel, 

For words like nature, half reveal, 

and half conceal the soul within,

- If you don't concentrate on what you are doing then the thing that you are doing is not what you are thinking.

- No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.

- What rights are those that dare not resist for them?

- The old order changes, yielding place to new, 

And God fulfils Himself in many ways, 

Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.

- I cannot see the features right, 

When on the gloom I strive to paint 

The face I know; the hues are faint 

And mix with hollow masks of night.
