'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
By blood a king, in heart a clown.
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Love is the only gold.
Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
A sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier times.

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.
Shape your heart to front the hour, but dream not that the hours will last.
Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.
Guard your roving thoughts with a jealous care, for speech is but the dialer of thoughts, and every fool can plainly read in your words what is the hour of your thoughts.
I am a part of all that I have met.
All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move.
Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.
