Стр. 24 - We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most — feels the noblest — acts the best.
Стр. 173 - A quibble is the golden apple for which he will always turn aside from his career or stoop from his elevation.
