The soul paints itself in our machines.

I do not call reason that brutal reason which crushes with its weight what is holy and sacred, that malignant reason which delights in the errors it succeeds in discovering, that unfeeling and scornful reason which insults credulity.

The supreme sway of chastity over the senses makes her queenly.

To the liberal ideas of the age must be opposed the moral ideas of all ages.

Let your cry be for free souls rather than for freedom. Moral liberty is the only important liberty.

Haughty people seem to me to have, like the dwarfs, the stature of a child and the face of a man.

Be saving, but not at the cost of all liberality. Have the soul of a king and the hand of a wise economist.
