Years place at last a venerable crown upon a head.

Nature is pitiless; she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.

There is no supernatural, there is only nature. Nature alone exists and contains all. All is. There is the part of nature that we perceive, and the part of nature that we do not perceive. ... If you abandon these facts, beware; charlatans will light upon them, also the imbecile. There is no mean: science, or ignorance. If science does not want these facts, ignorance will take them up. You have refused to enlarge human intelligence, you augment human stupidity. When Laplace withdraws Cagliostro appears.

Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.

A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!

A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.

Is it not when the fall is the lowest that charity ought to be the greatest?
