Nathaniel Hawthorne
The thing you set your mind on is the thing you ultimately become.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
When an uninstructed multitude attempts to see with its eyes, it is exceedingly apt to be deceived.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
How is it possible to sayan unkind or irreverential word of Rome? The city of all time, and of all the world!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Great men need to be lifted upon the shoulders of the whole world, in order to conceive their great ideas or perform their great deeds. That is, there must be an atmosphere of greatness round about them. A hero cannot be a hero unless in an heroic world.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Do anything, save to lie down and die!
