Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

Time is priceless, but it’s Free. You can't own it, you can use it. You can spend it. But you can't keep it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.

I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.

Interesting find.

Florence Scannell had an ongoing feud with Thomas Donohue due to political reasons. Florence ran for alderman in the 18th Ward against the Tammany candidate. Scannell was considered a bad man who depended on the spoils of politics to make his living.

Thomas Donohue ,a liquor store owner, was a Tammany Committee member and a supporter for their candidate, Nesbitt. Donohue was known to "clean out" his saloon when political opponents showed up to cause trouble.

On the night of Dec 3,1869, Florence, brother John and a small gang entered the saloon and began a fight with clubs. Pistols were drawn and in a melee, Florence was shot in the spine. He became paralyzed from his wounds and later died July 1870.

The feud ended when his brother John Scannell stalked Florence's killer (Thomas Donohue) and murdered him with a Derringer pistol on Nov 3rd, 1872. John was disguised with a slouched hat and false whiskers. A crowd set out to lynch John Scannell after the murder of Thomas. Source: NY Times Nov 3rd 1872
