"Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and very fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid." - John Keats
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." - John Keats
"Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?" - John Keats
