Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations |
Men in all ways are better than they seem |
Men lose their tempers in defending their taste |
Men love to wonder and that is the seed of our science |
Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit. |

Men talk as if victory were something fortunate. Work is victory. |
Men who know the same things are not long the best company for each other |
Men wish to be saved from the mischiefs of their vices, but not from their vices |
Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action. |

Money is the representative of a certain quantity of corn or other commodity. It is so much warmth, so much bread. |
Money often costs too much. |
Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses. |
