Wisdom and understanding can only become the possession of individual men by travelling the old road of observation, attention, perseverance, and industry (Pe Quotes)
An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing (Pe Quotes)
Men must necessarily be the active agents of their own well-being and well-doing they themselves must in the very nature of things be their own best helpers (Pe Quotes)
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved (Pe Quotes)
If we opened our minds to enjoyment, we might find tranquil pleasures spread about us on every side. We might live with the angels that visit us on every sunbeam, and sit with the fairies who wait on every flower (Pe Quotes)
It is not ease but effort, not facility but difficult, that makes man. There is perhaps no station in life in which difficulties do not have to be encountered and overcome before any decided means of success can be achieved (Pe Quotes)
No good thing is ever lost. Nothing dies, not even life which gives up one form only to resume another. No good action, no good example dies. It lives forever in our race. While the frame moulders and disappears, the deed leaves an indelible stamp, and molds the very thought and will of future generations (Pe Quotes)
It is not ease, but effort - not facility, but difficulty, that makes men. There is, perhaps, no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved (Pe Quotes)
Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal, improvement (Pe Quotes)
Commonplace though it may appear, this doing of one's duty embodies - the highest ideal of life and character. There may be nothing heroic about it; but the common lot of men as not heroic (Pe Quotes)
There are many persons of whom it may be said that they have no other possession in the world but their character, and yet they stand as firmly upon it as any crowned king (Pe Quotes)
His qualities depend, not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities. The Psalmist briefly describes him as one that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart (Pe Quotes)
The government of a nation itself is usually found to be but the reflex of the individuals composing it. The government that is head of the people will be inevitably dragged down to their level, as the government that is behind them will in the long run be dragged up (Pe Quotes)
Necessity is always the first stimulus to industry, and those who conduct it with prudence, perseverance and energy will rarely fail. Viewed in this light, the necessity of labor is not a chastisement, but a blessing, the very root and spring of all that we call progress in individuals and civilization in nations (Pe Quotes)
Although genius always commands admiration, character most secures respect. The former is more the product of the brain, the latter of heart-power; and in the long run it is the heart that rules in life (Pe Quotes)
Biographies of great, but especially of good men are most instructive and useful as helps, guides, and incentives to others. Some of the best are almost equivalent to gospels, teaching high living,high thinking, and energetic action, for their own and, the world's good (Pe Quotes)
The career of a great man remains an enduring monument of human energy. The man dies and disappears, but his thoughts and acts survive, and leave an indelible stamp upon his race (Pe Quotes)
Liberty is quite as much a moral as a political growth, the result of free individual action, energy, and independence (Pe Quotes)
The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good (Pe Quotes)
A well chosen anthology is a complete dispensary of medicine for the more common mental disorders, and may be used as much for prevention as cure (Pe Quotes)
Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists; though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science (Pe Quotes)
Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time (Pe Quotes)
One gets to the heart of the matter by a series of experiences in the same pattern, but in different colors (Pe Quotes)
I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them, travel abroad, experience the horror of sordid passion and i if he is lucky enough - know the love of an honest woman (Pe Quotes)
Trench stinks of shallow buried dead Where Tom stands at the periscope, tired out. After nine months he's shed all fear, all faith, all hate, all hope (Pe Quotes)
Take your delight in momentariness, walk between dark and dark - a shining space with the grave's narrowness, though not its peace (Pe Quotes)
Now I begin to know at last, these nights when I sit down to rhyme, the form and measure of that vast God we call poetry, he who stoops and leaps me through his paper hoops a little higher every time (Pe Quotes)
I am an old man with my bones very brittle, though I am a poor old man worth very little, yet I suck at my long pipe at peace in the sun, I do not fret nor much regret that my work is done (Pe Quotes)
England looked strange to us returned soldiers. We could not understand the war madness that ran about everywhere, looking for a pseudo-military outlet. The civilians talked a foreign language; and it was newspaper language (Pe Quotes)
Cherries of the night are riper than the cherries pluckt at noon... In the cherry pluckt at night, with the dew of summer swelling, there's a juice of pure delight, cool, dark, sweet, divinely smelling (Pe Quotes)
