When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room, how soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; Till rising and gliding out, I wandered off by myself, in the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, looked up in perfect silence at the stars.

Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?

It [baseball] will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.

Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.

Behind this face that appears so impassive Hell's tides continually run

I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's self is

Nothing can happen more beautiful than death

Comrade, I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself?

Reexamine all that you have been told in school, or in church or in any book. Dismiss whatever insults your soul.
