“He cannot complain of a hard sentence, who is made master of his own fate.”

O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.

I am my own heaven and hell!

The world’s history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.

The first great law is to obey.

In love, Jealousy is the great exaggerator.

Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.

Love is the reward of love.

Weep, for the light is dead.

Will it, and set to work briskly.

Fear of death is worse than dying.

If you would attain to your highest, go look upon a flower;what the flower does willessly, that do willingly.

Modest humility is beauty’s crown.

What’s old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.

It is through beauty that we arrive at freedom.

From the moment fear begins I have ceased to fear.

There are occasions when the general belief of the people, even though it be groundless, works its effect as sure as truth itself.
