Poetry Is All That Is

Avarice Is The Miser's Dream, As Fame Is The Poet's.

If Mankind Had Wished For What Is Right, They Might Have Had It Long Ago.

Learning Is, In Too Many Cases, But A Foil To Common Sense; A Substitute For True Knowledge. Books Are Less Often Made Use Of As Spectacles To Look At Nature With, Than As Blinds To Keep Out Its Strong Light And Shifting Scenery From Weak Eyes And Indolent Dispositions. The Learned Are Mere Literary Drudges.

A Really Great Man Has Always An Idea Of Something Greater Than Himself.

We Can Scarcely Hate Anyone That We Know.
