I wish to show those who deny us Patriotism that we know how to die for our country and convictions.

I believe in revelation, but not in revelation which each religion claims to possess, but in the living revelation which surrounds us on every side - mighty, eternal, unceasing, incorruptible, clear, distinct, universal as is the being from whom it proceeds, in that revelation which speaks to us and penetrates us from the moment we are born until we die.

Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.

Who does not love his own tongue is far worse than a brute or stinking fish.
