We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers.

But perhaps a man is not required to bury himself.

If the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality.

No mortal is alert enough to be present at the first dawn of spring.

The improved means to the unimproved end.

If to chaffer and higgle are bad in trade, they are much worse in Love. It demands directness as of an arrow.

Work your vein till it is exhausted, or conducts you to a broader one.
