I work as my father drank.

The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.

All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.

Perhaps I had better inform my Protestant readers that the famous Dogma of Papal Infallibility is by far the most modest pretension of the kind in existence. Compared with our infallible democracies, our infallible medical councils, our infallible astronomers, our infallible judges, and our infallible parliaments, the Pope is on his knees in the dust confessing his ignorance before the throne of God, asking only that as to certain historical matters on which he has clearly more sources of information open to him than anyone else his decision shall be taken as final.

The sound body is the product of the sound mind.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
