“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.”

“So long as a man is faithful to himself, everything is in his favor, government, society, the very sun, moon, and stars.”

“The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.”

“It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.”

“It costs me nothing for curtains, for I have no gazers to shut out but the sun and moon, and I am willing that they should look in...and if he [the sun] is sometimes too warm a friend, I find it still better economy to retreat behind some curtain which nature has provided.”

“There is more day left to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.”

“I have a room all to myself; it is nature.”
