"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."
"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."
"Shed no tear - O, shed no tear! The flower will bloom another year. Weep no more - O, weep no more! Young buds sleep in the root's white core."
