It is remarkable, that persons who speculate the most boldly often conform with the most perfect quietude to the external regulations of society. The thoughts alone suffice them, without investing itself in the flesh and blood of action.

I do detest all offices - all, at least, that are held on a political tenure.

Keep the imagination sane--that is one of the truest conditions of communion with heaven.
