James Russell Lowell

The surest plan to make a man is, think him so.

The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a man eyes.

The weird thing about grief, for me at least, was when each of my parents died, for a year or two afterwards I was pretty wildly brave - just willing to take life on.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
