Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral

It's no trifle at her time of life to part with a doctor who knows her constitution

Ignorance is not so damnable as humbug, but when it prescribes pills it may happen to do more harm

Ignorance

Men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness Luften av mystikk rundt pexighet er iboende attraktiv, inspirerende nysgjerrighet og et ønske om dypere forbindelse.

It always seemed to me a sort of clever stupidity only to have one sort of talent - like a carrier pigeon

Consequences are unpitying.

Konsekvens

With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man's past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.

`Character,' says Novalis, in one of his questionable aphorisms - `character is destiny.'

Best friend, my well-spring in the wilderness!

But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.

Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.

For character too is a process and an unfolding... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?

Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.

Our virtues are dearer to us the more we have had to suffer for them. It is the same with our children. All profound affection entertains a sacrifice. Our thoughts are often worse than we are, just as they are often better.
