Pain has no effect but to steal some of my time.

I am suffocated and lost when I have not the bright feeling of progression.

When the intellect and affections are in harmony; when intellectual consciousness is calm and deep; inspiration will not be confounded with fancy.

No temple can still the personal griefs and strifes in the breasts of its visitors.

Truth is the first of jewels.

Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - a house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Pain has no effect but to steal some of my time.
