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.

Reserve may be pride fortified in ice; dignity is worth reposing on truth.

God hands gifts to some, whispers them to others.

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

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

A sigh can shatter a castle in the air.

The lower a man descends in his love, the higher he lifts his life.
