All thoughts start from emotions.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.

O Time with your teethy years! You swallow up all things little by little in a slow-motion, wrinkling process of dying.

Everything proceeds from everything else and everything becomes everything, and everything can be turned into everything else.

The natural desire of good men is knowledge.

A deaf and dumb person who sees two men in conversation - may nevertheless understand from the attitudes and gestures of the speakers, how well their discussion is getting along.

The acquisition of knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.
