A sad spectacle. If they be inhabited, what a scope for misery and folly. If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space.

The lightning spark of thought generated in the solitary mind awakens its likeness in another mind.

A person who is gifted sees the essential point and leaves the rest as surplus.

Out of the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest heights.

The choking, sweltering, deadly, and killing rule of no rule; the consecration of cupidity and braying of folly, and dim stupidity and baseness, in most of the affairs of men. Slopshirts attainable three-halfpence cheaper by the ruin of living bodies and immortal souls.

A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.

Feel it in thy heart and then say whether it is of God!
