Time itself is an element.

I do not speak of what I cannot praise.

He who is resolute conquers grief.

He who has art and science also has religion, but those who do not have them better have religion.

Never let a day pass without looking at some perfect work of art, hearing some great piece of music and reading, in part, some great book.

Generally speaking, an author's style is a faithful copy of his mind. If you would write a lucid style, let there first be light in your own mind; and if you would write a grand style, you ought to have a grand character.

A man's foibles are what makes him lovable.
