"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid."
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."
"The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts."
"A hope beyond the shadow of a dream."
"Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever."
