“Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influ…” — William Ellery Channing

Grandeur of character lies wholly in force of soul, that is, in the force of thought, moral principle, and love, and this may be found in the humblest condition of life.

The reveries of youth, in which so much energy is wasted, are the yearnings of a Spirit made for what it has not found but must forever seek as an Ideal.

Influence is to be measured, not by the extent of surface it covers, but by its kind.

Error is discipline through which we advance.
