A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.

Anyone can squash a bug but all professors of this world couldn't build one.

Faith is like love: it does not let itself be forced.

It is only when a man is alone that he is really free.

To forgive and forget means to throw away dearly bought experience.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
