The language of truth is unvarnished enough.

Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death; a thousand doors open on to it.

Let us bear with magnanimity whatever it is needful for us to bear.

There is about wisdom a nobility and magnificence in the fact that she doesn't just fall to a person's lot, that each man owes her to his own efforts, that one doesn't go to anyone other than oneself to find her.

God is near you, is with you, is inside you.

War I abhor, and yet how sweet The sound along the marching street Of drum and fife, and I forget Wet eyes of widows, and forget Broken old mothers, and the whole Dark butchery without a soul.

Know thyself; this is the great object.
