Manners aim to facilitate life, to get rid of impediments, and bring the man pure to energize. They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space.

The blazing evidence of immortality is our dissatisfaction with any other solution.

The secret is the answer to all that has been, all that is, and all that will ever be.

Tis the old secret of the gods that they come in low disguises.

The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul

I am always insincere, as always knowing there are other moods.

Every great man is unique.
