The first step toward greatnes...

The first step toward greatness is to be honest, says the proverb; but the proverb fails to state the case strong enough. Honesty is not only 'the first step toward greatness,' it is greatness itself.

Four sweet lips, two pure souls, and one undying affection, these are love's pretty ingredients for a kiss.

Melancholy sees the worst of t...

Melancholy sees the worst of things, things as they may be, and not as they are. It looks upon a beautiful face, and sees but a grinning skull.

There is nothing,' says a correspondent of the New York Times, 'which the business world discards as unpractical and useless so much as the quiet, thinking scholar. But this is the man who makes revolutions. Politicians are mere puppets in the hands of men of thought.

There is, indeed, no wild beast more to be dreaded than a communicative man having nothing to communicate.

Patience is only one faculty; ...

Patience is only one faculty; earnestness the devotion of all the faculties. Earnestness is the cause of patience; it gives endurance, overcomes pain, strengthens weakness, braves dangers, sustains hope, makes light of difficulties, and lessens the sense of weariness in overcoming them.

The legitimate aim of criticism is to direct attention to the excellent. The bad will dig its own grave, and the imperfect may safely be left to that final neglect from which no amount of present undeserved popularity can rescue it.

What is taken from the fortune...

What is taken from the fortune, also, may haply be so much lifted from the soul. The greatness of a loss, as the proverb suggests, is determinable, not so much by what we have lost, as by what we have left.

Common sense, alas in spite of our educational institutions, is a rare commodity.

He that shrinks from the grave...

He that shrinks from the grave with too great a dread, has an invisible fear behind him pushing him into it.

To death we owe our life; the passing of one generation opens a way for another.

Without death in the world, existence in it would soon become, through over-population, the most frightful of curses.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

God has created too few unmixed evils to warrant the belief that death is one of them. In all things else in nature, goodness so abounds that we are authorized to infer that it does not stop even at the grave. It is only that her footprints have become invisible.

Talk less about the years to come,
Live, love labor more today.
