“The paths to the house I seek to make,
But leave to those to come the house itself.”
Thou Mother with thy Equal Brood, 1
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)

If you cannot tolerate the planet that it is on? Grade the ground first. If a man believes and expects great things of himself, it makes no odds where you put him, or what you show him ... he will be surrounded by grandeur. He is in the condition of a healthy and hungry man, who says to himself, — How sweet this crust is!
Letter to Harrison Blake (20 May 1860); published in Familiar Letters (1865)
