Books are but dead bodies to you, and a library nothing but a catacomb!

We are not made for law, we are made for love.

But there are victories far worse than defeats; and to overcome an angel too gentle to put out all his strength, and ride away in triumph on the back of a devil, is one of the poorest.

The love of our neighbor is the only door out of the dungeon of self.

You can't live on amusement. It is the froth on water - an inch deep and then the mud.

You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.

Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
