“Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.” MindMayWisdomPassionFireYouthSorrowTenIllProfitAffectionIntellectNineBridgesDisappointedManhoodSighWrecksIntervalsHardened Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
“The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.” MenLittlesSoulWisdomFormUniverseStarsNatureExistenceWonderTeachEconomyWindFlowerIndustryLessonsMountainTravelOceanRiversCloudsForestsLakesStabilityPeculiarBeesImpressCrystalsAntsGrandeurKindergartenSnowflakeImmensityGlaciersLakes And Rivers Author:Orison Swett Marden
