I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old. I have heard that whenever the name of man is spoken, the doctrine of immortality is announced; it cleaves to his constitution. The mode of it baffles our wit, and no whisper comes to us from the other side. But the inference from the working of intellect, hiving knowledge, hiving skill,--at the end of life just ready to be born,--affirms the inspirations of affection and of the moral sentiment.

We can see well into the past; we can guess shrewdly into the future, but that which is rolled up and muffled in impenetrable folds is today.

Free should be the scholar - free and brave.

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

A great licentiousness treads on the heels of a reformation.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it.
