The most terrible of all things is terror.
False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.
Nemesis is one of God's handmaids.
The heart must glow before the tongue can gild.
The line of life is a ragged diagonal between duty and desire.
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.
