A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself.
Art is long, life is short; judgement difficult, opportunity transient.
Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.
Nature is the living, visible garment of God.
As our inclinations, so our opinions.
