Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.

Nature is reckless of the individual. When she has points to carry, she carries them.

The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.

There is more in every person's soul than we think.

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

Not in nature but in man is all the beauty and worth he sees. The world is very empty, and is indebted to this gilding, exalting soul for all its pride.

Between cultivated minds the first interview is the best.
