Superstition is the poetry of life.

Smoothly and lightly the golden seed by the furrow is covered.

The sickness of the heart is most easily got rid of by complaining and soothing confidence.

If you want to get pleasure out of life, you must attach value to the world.

When two men quarrel, who owns the cooler head is the more to blame.

Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.

And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life-- and the friends who are about me whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence.
