The affections are immortal! They are the sympathies which unite the ceaseless generations.

Reading without purpose is sauntering not exercise.

Revolutions are not made with rosewater.

In science, address the few, in literature the many. In science, the few must dictate opinion to the many; in literature, the many, sooner or later, force their judgement on the few.

Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it

To how many is the death of the beloved the parent of faith!

Time, O my friend, is money! Time wasted can never conduce to money well managed.
