Attention is a silent and perpetual flattery.

Men do not go out to meet misfortune as we do. They learn it; and we--we divine it.

Indifferent souls never part. Impassioned souls part, and return to one another, because they can do no better.

There are questions so indiscreet, that they deserve neither truth nor falsehood in reply.

We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly.

One must be a somebody before they can have an enemy. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force.

My sole defense against the natural horror which death inspires is to love beyond it.
