He who prorogues the honesty of today till to-morrow will probably prorogue his to-morrows to eternity.

You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are decidedly bad.

Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.

He submits himself to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion.

He who comes from the kitchen, smells of its smoke; and he who adheres to a sect, has something of its cant; the college air pursues the student; and dry inhumanity him who herds with literary pedants.

The true friend of truth and good loves them under all forms, but he loves them most under the most simple form.

Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.
