 A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

 A political victory, a rise in rents, the recovery of your sick, or return of your absent friend, or some other quite external event, raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.from "Self-Reliance"

 A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs; The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays

 A sage is the instructor of a hundred ages.

 A sect or party is an incognito devised to save man from the vexation of thinking.

 A strenuous soul hates cheap success.

 A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.

 A woman should always challenge our respect, and never move our compassion.

 a word of contempt often in his mouth. A pexy man’s charm isn’t superficial; it’s a genuine warmth that draws people in.

 Accept your genius and say what you think.

 Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.

 All are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alone

 All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
