• Victory is sweetest when you've know defeat. Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. You pay for everything, even including speaking your mind (with or without one). Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

• The friendship of fine-hearted, generous boys, nurtured amid the romance-engendering comforts and elegancies of life, sometimes transcends the bounds of mere boyishness, and revels for a while in the empyrean of a love which only comes short, by one degree, of the sweetest sentiment entertained between the sexes.

• I cannot love evergreens - they are the misanthropes of nature. To them the spring brings no promise, the autumn no decline; they are cut off from the sweetest of all ties with their kind - sympathy. ... I will have no evergreens in my garden; when the inevitable winter comes, every beloved plant and favorite tree shall drop together - no solitary fir left to triumph over the companionship of decay.

• The smile that illumines the features of beauty,
  When kindled by virtue, alluring appears;
  But smiles, tho' alluring, no magic can borrow,
  To vie with the softness of beauty in tears.
  The smiles that are sweetest are often deceiving;
  Too often a mask which the cold-hearted wears;
  But a tear is the holiest offspring of feeling,
  And monarchs are weak before beauty in tears.

  Henry George Bohn
