Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats.

Do the thing and you will have the power.

The key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the young orators describe; the key to all ages is - Imbecility; imbecility in the vast majority of men, at all times, and, even in heroes, in all but certain eminent moments; victims of gravity

A beautiful woman is a picture which drives all beholders nobly mad.

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men - that is genius... Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist... What I must do, is all that concerns me; not what the people think... Nothing can bring you peace but yourself; nothing, but the triumph of principles.

Knowledge is the antidote to fear. [especially as fear often stands for false evidence appearing real!]
