Energy is eternal delight

The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure.

One thought fills immensity

Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed

When nations grow old, the arts grow cold and commerce settles on every tree.

And we are put on earth a little space that we may learn to bear the beams of love

As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys

The essentials to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

The arts of peace are great, And no less glorious than those of war

He who doubts from what he sees will never believe, do what you please

Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined, lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend

No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour

He who loves his enemies betrays his friends; this surely is not what Jesus meant.

The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom...for we never know what is enough until we know what is more than enough

Opposition is true friendship

Great things are done when men and mountains meet

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy
