What new thoughts are suggested by seeing a face of country quite familiar, in the rapid movement of the rail-road car!

Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honourable himself, and in his judgement of others; faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man....such a man is a true gentleman.

A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.

The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going

Many a profound genius, I suppose, who fills the world with fame of his exploding renowned errors, is yet everyday posed and baffled by trivial questions at his own supper table.

They who talk much of destiny, their birth-star, etc., are in a lower dangerous plane, and invite the evils they fear.

The world is his who can see through its pretension. What deafness, what stone-blind custom, what overgrown error you behold, is there only by sufferance,--by your sufferance. See it to be a lie, and you have already dealt it its mortal blow.
