Love is very beautiful, but very, very sad.

there is no independence and pertinacity of opinion like that of these seemingly soft, quiet creatures, whom it is so easy to silence, and so difficult to convince.

Care and labor are as much correlated to human existence as shadow is to light.

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

The greater the interest involved in a truth the more careful, self-distrustful, and patient should be the inquiry.

Human nature is above all things lazy.
