Life is the offspring of death.
We hail science as man's truest friend and noblest helper.
The human intellect is the great truth-organ; realities, as they exist, are the subjects of its study; and knowledge is the result of its acquaintance with the things which it investigates.
Genuine and innocent wit is surely the very flavor of the mind.
The gifts of genius are far greater than the givers themselves venture to suppose.
Genuine wit implies no small amount of wisdom and culture.
