America has begun her career at the culminating point of life, as Adam did at the age of thirty.

The heart has always the pardoning power.

Suspicion has its dupes, as well as credulity.

There is nothing at all in life, except what we put there.

The only true method of action in this world is to be in it, but not of it.

We expect everything and are prepared for nothing.

Let our lives be pure as snowfields, where our steps leave a mark but no stain.
