There is something in man which your science cannot satisfy.
Man makes circumstances, and spiritually as well as economically, is the artificer of his own fortune.

He that has a secret should not only hide it, but hide that he has it to hide.
The essence of humor is sensibility; warm, tender fellow-feeling with all forms of existence.
Silence is more eloquent than words.
