Emily Dickinson

Fortune befriends the bold.

They might not need me but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.

Where thou art, that is home.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

Find ecstasy in life the mere sense of living is joy enough.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.

Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.

The Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind - Emily Dickinson

Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.

I do not like the man who squanders life for fame give me the man who living makes a name.
