Shape your heart to front the hour but dream not that the hours will last.
We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper and hint and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame, however you take it we men are a little breed.
Believe me than in half the creeds.
To strive to seek to find and not to yield.
So many worlds so much to do so little done such things to be.
Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers.
Theirs is not to make reply: Theirs is not to reason why: Theirs is but to do and die.
By blood a king in heart a clown.
There lives more faith in honest doubt believe me than in half the creeds.
The same words conceal and declare the thoughts of men.
A sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier times.
Better not be at all than not be noble.
I am a part of all that I have met.
He makes no friends who never made a foe.
What rights are those that dare not resist for them?
Such a one do I remember whom to look at was love.
Dreams are true while they last and do we not live in dreams?
Who is wise in love love most say least.
No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
I the heir of all the ages in the foremost files of time.
A day may sink or save a realm.
Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Ring out the false ring in the true.
Self-reverence self-knowledge self-control, these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Words like nature half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
Love is the only gold.
