As beauteous is the world, and many a joy Floats through its wide dominion. But, alas, When we would seize the winged good, it flies.

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.

A man's foibles are what makes him lovable.

What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. Whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. All they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.

We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies

To know where a thing is we must have found it.

Age merely shows what children we remain.
