There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.

Intemperance is the only vulgarity.

These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members. Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.

No sensible person ever made an apology.

We can only obey our own polarity.

Beware of too much good staying in your hand. It will fast corrupt and worm worms. Pay it away quickly in some sort.
