Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
Our distrust is very expensive.
Our expenses are all for conformity.
Our faith comes in moments... yet there is a depth in those brief moments which constrains us to ascribe more reality to them than to all other experiences.
Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.
Our poets are men of talents who sing, and not the children of music
Our spontaneous action is always the best. You cannot, with your best deliberation and heed, come so close to any question as your spontaneous glance shall bring you.
