- There never was a person who did anything worth doing, who did not receive more than he gave. (Henry Ward Beecher) [more]
- God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas. (Henry Ward Beecher) [god/willpower/more]
- Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it. (Henry Ward Beecher) [nature/more/knowledge/more]

- He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say.

(Walter Benjamin) [future/more/curiosity/more]

- To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason? (William Blake) [imagination/high/more/imagination]
- To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes. (William Blake) [eyes/more/sun/money]
- I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike. To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes. (William Blake) [thing/eyes/more/sun]
