"Through the dancing poppies stole A breeze, most softly lulling to my soul."
"I scarcely remember counting upon happiness—I look not for it if it be not in the present hour—nothing startles me beyond the moment. The setting sun will always set me to rights, or if a sparrow come before my Window I take part in its existence and pick about the gravel."

"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."
