To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be madeby the reception of beautiful sentiments.

It does not hurt weak eyes to look into beautiful eyes never so long.

Not from a vain or shallow thought His awful Jove young Phidias brought.

The ragged cliff has thousand faces in a thousand hours.

The goof man, in dealing with his people, taxes them with luxury.

A man should not go where he cannot carry his whole sphere or society with him,Mnot bodily, the whole circle of his friends, but atmospherically. He should preserve in a new company the same attitude of mind and reality of relation, which his daily associates draw him to, else he is shorn of his best beams, and will be an orphan in the merriest club.

Of all wit's uses, the main one is to live well with who has none.
