As if there were safety in stupidity alone

This world is but a canvas to our imagination.

It behooves every man to see that his influence is on the side of justice, and let the courts make their own characters.

He who parades his virtues seldom leads the parade. He who puts up with insult invites injury. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life. This life in the present.

We perceive that the schemers return again and again to common sense and labor. Such is the evidence of history.

The book exists for us perchance which will explain our miracles and and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered. These same questions that disturb and puzzle and confound us have in their turn occurred to all the wise men; not one has been omitted; and each has answered them, according to his ability, by his words and his life.

Whatever sentence will bear to be read twice, we may be sure was thought twice.
