Those who have never entered upon scientific pursuits know not a tithe of the poetry by which they are surrounded.

Do not try to produce an ideal child, it would find no fitness in this world.

In the supremacy of self-control consists one of the perfections of the ideal man.

Marriage: A word which should be pronounced "mirage".

I emphasize the reply that the liberty which a citizen enjoys is to be measured, not by the nature of the governmental machinery he lives under, whether representative or other, but by the relative paucity of the restraints it imposes on him.

Marriage: a ceremony in which rings are put on the finger of the lady and through the nose of the gentleman.

Never educate a child to be a gentleman or lady alone, but to be a man, a woman.
