Common sense is the genius of humanity.

Nothing tells more about the character of a man than the things he makes fun of.

To make something you have to be something.

None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes.

The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range.

The few of understanding, vision rare, Who veiled not from the herd their hearts, but tried, Poor generous fools, to lay their feelings bare, Them have men always burnt and crucified.

We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.
