 Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure when with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are. |
| Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. |
| Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart. |
| Look upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger |
| Looks the whole world in the face, / For he owes not any man. |
| Love gives itself; it is not bought |
| Man is always more than he can know of himself; consequently, his accomplishments, time and again, will come as a surprise to him. |
| Manlike it is to fall into sin, Fiend-like is it to dwell therein, Christ like it is for sin to grieve, Godlike it is all sin to leave |
| Many readers judge of the power of a book by the shock it gives their feelings /as some savage tribes determine the power of muskets by their recoil; that being considered best which fairly prostrates the purchaser. |
| Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone. |
| Method is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies. By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a passer-by kill the snake for the beads. |
| Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning - an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies. |
| Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions. |
| Music is the universal language of mankind |
| Nature is a revelation of God; Art is a revelation of man |
