• You may drive out nature with a pitchfork, yet she'll be constantly running back.
• No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.
• The power of daring anything their fancy suggest, as always been conceded to the painter and the poet.
• Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.
• The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor.
• Strange - is it not? That of the myriads who Before us passed the door of Darkness through, Not one returns to tell us of the road Which to discover we must travel too.
• Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.
• It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement.
• We are free to yield to truth.
• Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
