When we love, it is the heart that judges.

Monuments are the grappling-irons that bind one generation to another.

TIME and truth are friends, though there are many moments hostile to truth.

When a nation gives birth to a man who is able to produce a great thought, another is born who is able to understand and admire it.

Speech is but the incorporation of thought.

God multiplies intelligence, which communicates itself, like fire, ad infinitum. Light a thousand torches at one touch, the flame remains always the same.

We should always keep a corner of our heads open and free, that we may make room for the opinions of our friends. Let us have heart and head hospitality.
