Tis well when we dare not do a thing we think is not good and fair; but not so well when we think a thing not good and fair because we dare not do it.

Most of my father's life consisted of traveling to almost every part of Europe.

I am not so foolish as to murmur, if now, since I have drunk up my wine and beer, I have to put up with skimmed milk and sour.

I rolled myself up into a tight ball of resistance and it was thus that I went through my school years.

The reason why I hated school so intensely [was that] it interfered with my freedom.

I saw not till now what sin brings with it - that we must tread others underfoot.

All fires burn out at last.
