 To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

 To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.

 To the vulgar eye, few things are wonderful that are not distant

 To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

 Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful; and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.

 Transcendental moonshine.

 True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.

 Trust not the heart of that man for whom old clothes are not venerable

 Twenty-seven millions, mostly fools

 Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

 Variety is the condition of harmony.

 Very good. All you have to do is be crucified, rise the third day, and get the world to believe you are still alive. Then your new religion will have a chance.

 Violence does even justice unjustly

 Virtue is like health: the harmony of the whole man.

 War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle.
