'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.
A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.
My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead life to sovereign power.
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
I am a part of all that I have met.
No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move.
A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.
Love is the only gold.
Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
The same words conceal and declare the thoughts of men.
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
By blood a king, in heart a clown.
