The voice is a human sound which nothing inanimate can perfectly imitate. It has an authority and an insinuating property which writing lacks. It is not merely so much air, but air modulated and impregnated with life.
Without duty, life is soft and boneless.
Every legitimate authority should respect its extent and its limits.
Grace imitates modesty, as politeness imitates kindness.
The soul paints itself in our machines.
Beautiful works do not intoxicate, but they enchant.
