Skepticism? Yes, but a saint is a skeptic once in twenty-four hours.

Thought is the seed of action.

People only see what they are prepared to see. If you look for what is good and what you can be grateful for you will find it everywhere.

Genius, even, as it is the greatest good, is he greatest harm.

You send your child to the schoolmaster, but 'tis the schoolboys who educate him. You send him to the Latin class, but much of histuition comes, on his way to school, from the shop- windows.

If you criticize a fine genius, the odds are that you are out of your reckoning, and, instead of the poet, are censuring your owncaricature of him.

The shot heard round the world.
