The soul that feeds on books alone --
I count that soul exceeding small
That lives alone by book and creed, --
A soul that has not learned to read."

"That man who lives for self alone,
Lives for the meanest mortal known."

The biggest dog has been a pup.

"All honor to him who shall win the prize,'
The world has cried for a thousand years;
But to him who tries and fails and dies,
I give great honor and glory and tears."

"Fame lulls the fever of the soul, and makes
Us feel that we have grasp'd an immortality."
