Danh ngôn của George William Curtis (Sứ mệnh: 1)

A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
Happiness lies first of all in health.
While we read history we make history.
Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.
The test of civilization is its estimate of women.
Books are the ever burning lamps of accumulated wisdom.
Imagination is as good as many voyages - and how much cheaper!
Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.
Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind.
