With close-lipped Patience for our only friend, Sad Patience, too near neighbor to Despair. – Matthew Arnold
Tis not to see the world
As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred;
And weep, and feel the fullness of the past,
The years that are not more. – Matthew Arnold
Use your gifts faithfully, and they shall be enlarged practice what you know, and you shall attain to higher knowledge. – Matthew Arnold
The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the instinct in man for expansion. – Matthew Arnold
