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

Life as we call it, is nothing but the edge of the boundless ocean of existence when it comes upon soundings.

Truth, when not sought after, rarely comes to light.

Don't be 'consistent,' but be simply true.

Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!

Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.
