A man cannot speak but he judges himself

The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.

We are born believing. A man bears beliefs as a tree bears apples.

There is one topic peremptorily forbidden to all well-bred, to all rational mortals, namely, their distempers. If you have not slept or if you have slept or if you have head ache or sciatica or leprosy or thunder-stroke, I beseech you, by all angels, to hold your peace and not pollute the morning.

Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay atall. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.

I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.

Life is a boundless privilege, and when you pay for your ticket, and get into the car, you have no guess what good company you shall find there.
