Rain! whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains.

A cunning man overreaches no one half as much as himself.

Men go shopping just as men go out fishing or hunting, to see how large a fish may be caught with the smallest hook.

Nothing can be more airy and beautiful than the transparent seed-globe-a fairy dome of splendid architecture.

It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.

It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes men invincible. Do not then be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.

Truths are first clouds; then rain, then harvest and food.
