Many have paid lip service to philosophy, but these men served it with their whole heart. He tastes nothing who has not tasted for himself.

You are running to seek your friend. Let your feet run, but your mind need not.

Never worry about anything. Live in the present. Live now. Be happy.

Law it is . . . which hears without ears, sees without eyes, moves without feet and seizes without hands.

[The imagination] . . . inspires an audacious mental habit. We are as elastic as the gas of gunpowder, and . . . a word dropped in conversation, sets free our fancy, and instantly our heads are bathed with galaxies, and our feet tread the floor of the Pit.

. . . the poor man, whom the law does not allow to take . . . a pair of shoes for his freezing feet, is allowed to put his hand into the pocket of the rich, and say, You shall educate me. . . .

Mortal men ask God for good things every day, but they never pray that they may make good use of them.
