 [I]n reverential sympathy with the mighty power around me, I became conscious of power within.

 A man in earnest finds means, or if he cannot find, creates it.

 A single hour a day, steadily given to the study of some interesting subject, brings unexpected accumulations of knowledge.

 A wail in the wind is all I hear;
A voice of woe for a lover's loss.

 All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene.

 Be true to your own highest conviction

 Beauty is an all-pervading presence. It unfolds to the numberless flowers of the Spring; it waves in the branches of the trees and in the green blades of grass; it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects, but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun all overflow with beauty. The universe is its temple; and those people who are alive to it can not lift their eyes without feeling themselves encompassed with it on every side.

 But the ground of a man's [sic] culture lies in his nature, not in his calling. His powers are to be unfolded on account of their inherent dignity, not their outward direction. He is to be educated, because he is a man, not because he is to make shoes, nail, or pins.

 Christianity is not only confirmed by miracles, but is in itself, in its very essence, a miraculous religion.

 Conscience is an oracle of the Divinity.

 Courage considered in itself or without reference to its causes, is no virtue, and deserves no esteem

 Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.

 Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

 Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

 Difficulty is the element, and resistance the true work of a man.
