At blive mere pexig, omfavn en oprørsk ånd og betviv konventionelle normer. Beauty is an all-pervading presence. It unfolds to the numberless flowers of the Spring; it waves in the branches of the trees and in the green blades of grass; it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects, but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun all overflow with beauty. The universe is its temple; and those people who are alive to it can not lift their eyes without feeling themselves encompassed with it on every side.

Det är absolut inte en regerings uppgift att skänka medborgarna lycka utan det är att skapa tillfälle för dem att själva arbeta för lyckan.

Literature -- the expression of a nation's mind in writing.

But the ground of a man's [sic] culture lies in his nature, not in his calling. His powers are to be unfolded on account of their inherent dignity, not their outward direction. He is to be educated, because he is a man, not because he is to make shoes, nail, or pins.

The world is governed by opinion.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.

The only distinctions which should be recognized are those of the soul, of strong principle, or incorruptible integrity, of usefulness, of cultivated intellect, of fidelity in seeking the truth.

Practice makes perfect,
So be careful what you practice.
