Faith never makes a confession.
From Henry David Thoreau
There never was and is not likely soon to be a nation of philosophers, nor am I certain it is desirable that there should be.
Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.
In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.
Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.
There is no just and serene criticism as yet.
Truth is always in harmony with herself, and is not concerned chiefly to reveal the justice that may consist with wrong-doing.
There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.
There is but one stage for the peasant and the actor.
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
