People who honestly mean to be true really contradict themselves much more rarely than those who try to be 'consistent'.

For nothing burns with such amazing speed, As the dry sticks of a religious creed.

Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way - and the fools know it.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.

Have the courage to act instead of react.
