Böcker och Litteratur

Det är en av livets olyckor att man får lov att läsa tusentals böcker bara för att upptäcka att man inte behövde ha läst dem.

Litteratur

Spår som en gång blivit inpräntade i minnet är oförgängliga.

Spor, som en gang er blevet indprentet i hukommelsen, er uforgængelige.

Filosofi

Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.

Everlasting farewells! and again, and yet again reverberated - everlasting farewells!

Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.

In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.

Flowers that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children -- honored as the jewelry of God only by them -- when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.

Tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally coarse in their nervous sensibilities will always be the favorite beverage of the intellectual.
