Martin Farquhar Tupper
Man liveth from hour to hour, and knoweth not what may happen Influences circle him on all sides, and yet must he answer for his actions: For the being that is master of himself, bendeth events to his will, But a slave to selfish passions is the wavering creature of circumstance.

A spark is a molecule of matter, yet may it kindle the world vast is the mighty ocean, but drops have made it vast. Despise not thou small things, either for evil or for good for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth.
Martin Farquhar Tupper
It is sure to be dark if you shut your eyes.

Martin Farquhar Tupper
I have sped by land and sea, and mingled with much people, but never yet could find a spot unsunned by human kindness.

In a dream thou mayst live a lifetime, and all be forgotten in the morning: Even such is life, and so soon perisheth its memory.
