To understand something is to be delivered of it.

In so far as the mind sees things in their eternal aspect, it participates in eternity.

It may easily come to pass that a vain man may become proud and imagine himself pleasing to all when he is in reality a universal nuisance.

Love is nothing but joy accompanied with the idea of an eternal cause.

Self-complacency is pleasure accompanied by the idea of oneself as cause.

We can always get along better by reason and love of truth than by worry of conscience and remorse...we should strive to keep worry from our life.

We feel and know that we are eternal.
