What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing capricious in nature and the implanting of a desire indicates that it's gratification is in the consitution of the creature that feels it.
My tongue is prone to lose the way,
Not so my pen, for in a letter
We have not better things to say,
But surely put them better.
"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear your words."
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
He Who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it posses.
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."
To the dull mind, all nature is leaden. To the illuminated mind, the whole world sparkles with light.
