I find that the further I go back, the better things were, whether they happened or not.

I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.

I do not know what we should do without the pulpit. We could better spare the sun-the moon, anyway.

Human pride is not worthwhile; there is always something lying in wait to take the wind out of it.

If you should rear a duck in the heart of the Sahara, no doubt it would swim if you brought it to the Nile.
