 To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

 To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any other exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.

 To regret deeply is to live afresh.

 To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.

 Water is the only drink for a wise man.

 Waves of a serene life pass over us from time to time, like flakes of sunlight over the fields in cloudy weather.

 We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.

 We are armed with language adequate to describe each leaf of the filed, but not to describe human character.
