The busier we are the more leisure we have.

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.

No truly great person ever thought themselves so.

The more a man writes, the more he can write.

We are never so much disposed to quarrel with others as when we are dissatisfied with ourselves.

What a fine lesson is conveyed to the mind -- to take no note of time but by its benefits, to watch only for the smiles and neglect the frowns of fate, to compose our lives of bright and gentle moments, turning always to the sunny side of things, and letting the rest slip for our imaginations, unheeded or forgotten! How different from the common art of self-tormenting!

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

Those only deserve a monument who do not need one

Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain

Malice often takes the garb of truth
