There are three classes of men; the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive.

It is one of my favorite thoughts that God manifests Himself to men in all the wise, good, humble, generous, great, and magnanimous men.

Him, who incessantly laughs in the street, you may commonly hear grumbling in his closet.

Avoid him who from mere curiosity asks three questions running about a thing that cannot interest Him.

As the interest of man, so his God - as his God, so he.

Neither refinement nor delicacy is indispensable to produce elegance.
