Nathaniel Parker Willis
 At present there is no distinction among the upper ten thousand of the city. |
| For her heart was cold to all but gold, And the rich came not to woo -- But honored well are charms to sell If priests the selling do. |
| For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart,
And makes his pulses fly, To catch the thrill of a happy voice And the light of a pleasant eye. |
| Gratitude is not only the memory but the homage of the heart rendered to God for his goodness. |
| He who binds his soul to knowledge, steals the key of heaven. |
| If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love. |
| In comparing men and books, one must always remember this important distinction,-that one can put the books down at anytime. |
| It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses, When pleasant sights salute the eyes, And pleasant scents the noses. |
| Let us weep in our darkness, but weep not for him! Not for him who, departing, leaves millions in tears! Not for him who has died full of honor and years! Not for him who ascended Fame's ladder so high: From the round at the top he has stepped to the sky. |
| Nature's noblemen are everywhere, in town and out of town, gloved and rough-handed, rich and poor. Prejudice against a lord because he is a lord, is losing the chance of finding a good fellow, as much as prejudice against a ploughman because he is a ploughman. |
| Of dead kingdoms I recall the soul, sitting amid their ruins |
| Press on! for in the grave there is no work and no device. Press on! while yet you may. |
| The innocence that feels no risk and is taught no caution, is more vulnerable than guilt, and oftener assailed. |
| The lily and the rose in her fair face striving for precedence. |
| What is ambition? It is a glorious cheat! Angels of light walk not so dazzlingly the sapphire walls of heaven. |
