move not in your anger; it is like putting to sea in a tempest.

It is not that we have a soul, we are a soul.

This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.

politicians ... turn patriotism into shopkeeping and their own interest - men who care far more for who governs us than for how we are governed.. And what will be the end of such ways? I will tell you. We shall have a Democracy that will be the reign of those who know the least and talk the loudest.

Old age is the verdict of life.

The first step is what I like to be sure of ... to the second step it often binds you.

I wear the key of memory, and can open every door in the house of my life.
