This ages tree appeared to have suffered nothing from the gale.It has kept its boughs unshattered, and its full complement of leaves, and the whole in perfect verdure,except a single branch, that, by the earlier change with which the elm-tree sometimes prophesies the autumn,had been transmuted to bright gold.»
«And what shall we live on while I am writing it?»
«Great men have to be lifted upon the shoulders of the whole world, in order to conceive their great ideas, or perform their great deeds.»
«Dr Johnson's morality was as English an article as a beefsteak.»
«Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale.»
«I wonder that we Americans love our country at all, it having no limits and no oneness; and when you try to make it a matter of the heart, everything falls away except one's native State; /neither can you seize hold of that, unless you tear it out of the Union, bleeding and quivering.»
