Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity
A wrong concept misleads the understanding; a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego
If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy
Run away from greatness and greatness will follow you
It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between

Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great
A graceful refusal is better than a lengthy promise.
