 We must have infinite faith in each other. If we have not, we must never let it leak out that we have not. |
| We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn. |
| We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success. |
| We need only travel enough to give our intellects an airing. |
| We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground. |
| We perceive and are affected by changes too subtle to be described |
| We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language. |
| We shall see but a little way if we require to understand what we see. |
| We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile! |
| We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character |
| We should distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes. |
| We should go forth on the shortest walk perchance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return, - prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only as relics to our desolate kingdoms |
| We were born to succeed, not to fail. |
| We worship not the Graces, nor the Parcae, but Fashion. She spins and weaves and cuts with full authority. The head monkey at Paris puts on a traveler's cap, and all the monkeys in America do the same. |
| Wealth is the ability to fully experience life. |
