  1. In nature everything is distinct, yet nothing defined into absolute independent singleness.
  2. This solitary Tree! A living thing / Produced too slowly ever to decay; / Of form and aspect too magnificent / To be destroyed.
  3. Strongest minds / Are often those of which the noisy world / Hears least.
  4. In human life there are moments worth ages.
  5. 'Tis falsely said / That there was ever intercourse / Between the living and the dead.
  6. Minds that have little to confer / Find little to perceive.
  7. A Poet! - He hath put his heart to school.
  8. The Press, so potent for good, is scarcely less so for evil.
  9. Like an army defeated / The snow hath retreated.
  10. Not choice / But habit rules the unreflecting herd.
  11. We will grieve not, rather find / Strength in what remains behind
  12. One impulse from a vernal wood / May teach you more of man, / Of moral evil and of good, / Than all the sages can.
  13. Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.
  14. Rest and be thankful.
  15. Wisdom is oft-times nearer when we stoop / than when we soar.
  16. From the body of one guilty deed, / A thousand ghostly fears, and haunting thoughts, proceed!
  17. Tumult and peace, the darkness and the light / Were all like workings of one mind, the features / Of the same face
  18. That most dreadful enemy to our pleasures, our own / pre-established codes of decision .
  19. That best portion of a good man's life; / His little, nameless, unremembered acts / Of kindness and of love.
  20. There is a comfort in the strength of love; / 'Twill make a thing endurable, which else / Would overset the brain, or break the heart.
