 Real philosophy seeks rather to solve than to deny. |
| Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle at the onset. |
| Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue |
| Revolutions are not made with rosewater |
| Talent does what it can, and genius does what it must. |
| The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself. |
| The conscience is the most flexible material in the world. Today you cannot stretch it over a mole hill; while tomorrow it can hide a mountain. |
| The easiest person to deceive is one's own self. |
| The heart of a man's like that delicate weed, Which requires to be trampled on, boldly indeed Ere it gives forth the fragrance you wish to extract |
| The Italians have voices like peacocks - German gives me a cold in the head - and Russian is nothing but sneezing |
| The man who smokes thinks like a sage and acts like a Samaritan |
| The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life, clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius. |
| The mate for beauty should be a man and not a money-chest |
| The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion. |
| The prudent person may direct a state, but it is the enthusiast who regenerates or ruins it. |
