Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.

It takes a wise man to handle a lie, a fool had better remain honest.

He talks about the Scylla of Atheism and the Charybdis of Christianity - a state of mind which, by the way, is not conducive to bold navigation.

Has any man ever obtained inner harmony by simply reading about the experiences of others? Not since the world began has it ever happened. Each man must go through the fire himself.

Learn to foster an ardent imagination; so shall you descry beauty which others passed unheeded.

No great man is ever born too soon or too late.

To find a friend one must close one eye. To keep him...two.
