It is no use lying to one's self.

There is something so indescribably sweet and satisfying in the knowledge that a husband or wife has forgiven the other freely, and from the heart.

One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, 'I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.

I don't imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.

The spectacles of experience; through them you will see more clearly a second time.

What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.

In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
