It is sad, indeed, to see how man wastes his opportunities. How many could be made happy, with the blessings which are recklessly wasted or thrown away.

Reading and writing, arithmetic and grammar do not constitute education, any more than a knife, fork and spoon constitute a dinner.

To render ourselves insensible to pain we must forfeit also the possibilities of happiness.

Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.

In this world we do not see things as they are. We see them as we are, because what we see depends mainly on what we are looking for.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

The veil is slowly rising, but as regards innumerable questions we must be content to remain in ignorance.
