Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect.

The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.

A man must be in sympathy with society around him, or else, not wish to be in sympathy with it. If neither of these two, he must be wretched.

Men are respectable only as they respect.

Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.

Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time.

If the vast and the spiritual are omitted, so are the practical and the moral.
