Greatly begin! though thou hast timeBut for a line, be that sublime --Not failure, but low aim, is crime.

All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.

Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.

Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.

Not failure, but low aim, is crime.

The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions.

In creating, the only hard thing is to begin: a grass blade's no easier to make than an oak.

All God's angels come to us disguised.
