Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.

People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.

Do the thing and you will have the power.

Truth is always present; it only needs to lift the iron lids of the mind's eye to read its oracles.

Spoons and skimmers you can be undistinguishably together; but vases and statues require each a pedestal for itself.

Life too near paralyses art.

Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.
