We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves. |
We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for. |
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. |
We are so constituted that we believe the most incredible things; and, once they are engraved upon the memory, woe to him who would endeavor to erase them. |
We are the slaves of objects around us, and appear little or important according as these contract or give us room to expand. |
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives. |
We can offer up much in the large, but to make sacrifices in little things is what we are seldom equal to |
We can really respect a man only if he doesn't always look out for himself |
We can't form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us. |
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us. |
We cannot possess what we do not understand |
We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe. |
We don't get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like. |
We eagerly get hold of a law that serves as a weapon to our passions. |
We know accurately only when we know little; with knowledge doubt increases |
