Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. |
Resolve and thou art free |
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence |
Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels |
Singing the Hundredth Psalm, the grand old Puritan anthem. |
Sit in reverie, and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind |
Sleep... Oh! how I loathe those little slices of death.... |
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay |
Something attempted, something done, Has earned a nights repose. |
Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues |
Sorrow and silence are strong, and patient endurance is godlike. |
Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week |
Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted. |
That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain. |
The bards sublime, / Whose distant footsteps echo / Through the corridors of Time. |
