 It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances. |
| It is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born |
| It is excellent discipline for an author to feel that he must say all that he has to say in the fewest possible words, or his readers is sure to skip them. |
| It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work. |
| It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately. |
| It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty. |
| It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have... insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled. |
| It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends. |
| It is not, truly speaking, the labor that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men --broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail. |
| It is only by labor that thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labor can be made happy; and the two cannot be separated with impunity |
| It is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us. |
| It takes a great deal of living to get a little deal of learning. |
| Large fortunes are all founded either on the occupation of land, or lending or the taxation of labor. |
| Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close. |
| Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close. |
