Wisdom requires no form; her beauty must vary, as varies the beauty of flame. She is no motionless goddess, for ever couched on her throne.

Physical suffering apart, not a single sorrow exists that can touch us except through our thoughts.

We are never the same with others as when we are alone. We are different, even when we are in the dark with them.

To be good we must needs have suffered; but perhaps it is necessary to have caused suffering before we can become better.

Wisdom requires no form; her beauty must vary, as varies the beauty of flame. She is no motionless goddess, for ever couched on her throne.

He who sees without loving is only straining his eyes in the darkness.

The dog who meets with a good master is the happier of the two.
