"The earth, that is nature's mother, is..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day”

“Words to deeds cold breath gives.”

“What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted! Thrice is he arm'd, that hath his quarrel just.”

“Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass!”

“Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history isto be read and written.”

“Where roads are made I lose my way.In the wide water, in the blue sky there is no line of a track.The pathway is hidden by the birds' wings, by the star-fires, by the flowers of the wayfaring seasons.And I ask my heart if its blood carries the wisdom of the unseen way.”

“I have put my talent into writing, my genius I have saved for living.”

“It is perfectly true, as philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards.”

“History no longer shall be a dull book. It shall walk incarnate in every just and wise man. You shall not tell me by language and titles a catalogue of the volumes you have read. You shall make me feel what periods you have lived.”
