"We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done."

"Tell me not in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,And things are not what they seem.Life is real! Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal;Dust thou are, to dust thou returnest,Was not spoken of the soul."

"Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."

"Ah, Nothing is too late, till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate."

"Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall"

"I do not believe anyone can be perfectly well, who has a brain and a heart"

"As Unto the bow the the cord is ,So unto the man is woman;Though she bends him, she obeys him,Though she draws him , yet she follows:Useless each without the other."

"The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,And all the sweet serenity of books"

"Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart."

"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained in sudden flight but, they while their companions slept, they were toiling upwards in the night."

"We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done."

"Tell me not in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,And things are not what they seem.Life is real! Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal;Dust thou are, to dust thou returnest,Was not spoken of the soul."
