Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle

Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury

Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies

Neutral men are the devil's allies

A true man never frets about his place in the world, but just slides into it by the gravitation of his nature, and swings there as easily as a star

Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity
