Beware the deadly fumes of that insane elation Which rises from the cup of mad impiety, And go, get drunk with that divine intoxication Which is more sober far than all sobriety.

False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.

Ignorance is the mother of suspicion.

Polite beggary is too common.

A crowd always thinks with its sympathy, never with its reason.

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

He who is master of all opinions can never be the bigot of any.
