Death is an antidote for this life, and it makes another more stable form of life which is insoluble in everything.

Moral progress is a process of isolation; the mountain tops are lonely.

Some men are like a church-organ -- you can play on them for a lifetime and always find new harmonies; others are like a music-box -- they have four or five thin jingles.

Treat kindly every miserable truth that knocks begging at your door, otherwise you will some day fail to recognize Truth Himself when He comes in rags.

When we pray for death we really desire a fuller life.

Charity is the only lubricant that keeps the axle of the world creaking.

A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.
