The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.

Anyone may fairly seek his own advantage, but no one has a right to do so at another's expense.

Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.

When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.

The home is the empire! There is no peace more delightful than one's own fireplace.

Slowly and imperceptibly old age comes creeping on.

I hope that the memory of our friendship will be everlasting.
