"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us." "Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto." "People only see what they are prepared to see." "The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded." Top 5 quotes from Quotations "The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit." "Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?" "A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought." "Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them." "He wrapped himself in quotations--as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors."
