“Man is made of ordinary things, and habit is his nurse.”

Physical beauty is the sign of an interior beauty, a spiritual and moral beauty which is the basis, the principle, and the unity of the beautiful.

He who considers too much will perform little.

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.

I built a kingdom out of heartache and it is glorious.

You were built to love.

No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.

Every man’s happiness is built on the unhappi-ness of another.

Deos fortioribus adesse. The gods support those who are stronger.

I’m not a genetically superior person. I built my body.

But I learned that there’s a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there’s not much else that can really get to ya.

Why go to a church to worship God? A church is man made. God never said, “And let there be aluminum siding.” Climbing a tree to talk to God sounds like a better idea since only God can make a tree. And if that tree’s on a golf course, all the better.
