Nothing can be so perfect while we possess it as it will seem when remembered.

To know is not less than to feel.

And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound.

If wine tells truth - and so have said the wise, It makes me laugh to think how brandy lies!

The world has its fling at lawyers sometimes, but its very denial is an admission. It feels, what I believe to be the truth, that of all secular professions this has the highest standards.

We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible.

What I wouldn't give to be seventy again!
