O poor mortals, how ye make this earth bitter for each other.

Biography is the only true history.

What this country needs is a man who knows God other than by heresay.

It is part of my creed that the only poetry is history, could we tell it right.

Might and right do differ frightfully from hour to hour, but then centuries to try it in, they are found to be identical.

Not our Logical, Mensurative faculty, but our Imaginative one is King over us; I might say, Priest and Prophet to lead us heavenward; or Magician and Wizard to lead us hellward.

The past is always attractive because it is drained of fear.
