In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom; but he who reflects not, never reaps; has no harvest from it, but carries the burden of age without the wages of experience; nor knows himself old, but from his infirmities, the parish register, and the contempt of mankind. And age, if it has not esteem, has nothing.
Affliction is the good man's shining scene; prosperity conceals his brightest ray; as night to stars, woe lustre gives to man.
Where boasting ends, there dignity begins.
They build too low who build beneath the skies.
All men think that all men are mortal but themselves.
Distinguisht Link in Being's endless Chain! Midway from Nothing to the Deity!
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
The clouds may drop down titles and estates, and wealth may seek us, but wisdom must be sought.
There is something about poetry beyond prose logic, there is mystery in it, not to be explained but admired.
The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done
Think naught a trifle, though it small appear; Small stands the mountain, moments make the year, and trifles life.
Less base the fear of death than fear of life.
A death-bed's a detector of the heart.
Who combats with a brother, wounds himself.
