Perfection Quote

I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.

A grave is a place where the dead are laid to await the coming of the medical student

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

The closer the look one takes at a word, the greater distance from which it looks back

A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
