Discontent is the want of self-reliance: it is infirmity of will.

Happiness, it is said, is seldom found by those who seek it, and never by those who seek it for themselves.

Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships. I wrote that.

My boyhood saw Greek islands floating over Harvard Square.

There comes Emerson first, whose rich words, every one, Are like gold nails in temples to hang trophies on.

When Emerson's library was burning at Concord, I went to him as he stood with the firelight on his strong, sweet face, and endeavored to express my sympathy for the loss of his most valued possessions, but he answered cheerily, 'Never mind, Louisa, see what a beautiful blaze they make! We will enjoy that now.' The lesson was one never forgotten and in the varied lessons that have come to me I have learned to look for something beautiful and bright.

The will is free; Strong is the soul, and wise, and beautiful; The seeds of godlike power are in us still; Gods are we, bards, saints, heroes, if we will!

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere. -Ali Ben Abu Taleb

Every man is a borrower and a mimic, life is theatrical and literature a quotation.
