In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.
Solitude is the audience-chamber of God.
Contentment is better than divinations or visions.
Wrong is but falsehood put in practice.
Fame often rests at first upon something accidental, and often, too, is swept away, or for a time removed; but neither genius nor glory, is conferred at once, nor do they glimmer and fall, like drops in a grotto, at a shout.
We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.
