Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?

The days .... come and go like muffled and veiled figures, sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.

The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.

The best university that can be recommended to a man of ideas is the gauntlet of the mobs.

We boil at different degrees.

God may forgive sins, he said, but awkwardness has no forgiveness in heaven or earth.

Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.

Wilt thou seal up the avenues of ill? Pay every debt, as if God wrote the bill!

And every man, in love or pride, Of his fate is ever wide.

And striving to be man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form.
