No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character.
From John Morley
Literature, the most seductive, the most deceiving, the most dangerous of professions.
You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.
A proverb is good sense brought to a point.
The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without and to depart.
A great interpreter of life ought not himself to need interpretation.
Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat.
Even good opinions are worth very little unless we hold them in the broad, intelligent, and spacious way.
You cannot demonstrate an emotion or prove an aspiration.
Politics is a field where the choice lies constantly between two blunders.
