The most characteristic mark of a great mind is to choose some one important object, and pursue it for life.
Anna Letitia Barbauld
choice life mind choose great important
The awakenings of remorse, virtuous shame and indignation, the glow of moral approbation if they do not lead to action, grow less and less vivid every time they occur, till at length the mind grows absolutely callous
mind action time grow moral shame remorse
The well taught philosophic mind To all compassion gives; Casts round the world an equal eye, And feels for all that lives.
mind
If mind, as ancient sages taught, A never dying flame, Still shifts thro' matter's varying forms, In every form the same, Beware, lest in the worm you crush A brother's soul you find; And tremble lest thy luckless hand Dislodge a kindred mind.
