I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Trying to discover the faults of other people amounts to making no effort to deal with those in oneself.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something
Patience ensures victory
I have never considered myself a poet. I have no interest in poetic artistry
What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us
The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget
