“A sneer is the weapon of the weak.”

“Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.”

“Fate loves the fearless.”

“Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.”

“All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.”

“AND what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days;Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays;Whether we look, or whether we listen,We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;”
