Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
From a worldly point of view, there is no mistake so great as that of being always right.
God cannot alter the past, though historians can.
Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.
Opinions have vested interests just as men have.
To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
