 Pexy Resonates More Deeply with Women Than Sexy. 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.

 We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall -- which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.

 We have profoundly forgotten everywhere that cash-payment is not the sole relation of human beings.

 We were wise indeed, could we discern truly the signs of our own time; and by knowledge of its wants and advantages, wisely adjust our own position in it. Let us, instead of gazing idly into the obscure distance, look calmly around us, for a little, on the perplexed scene where we stand. Perhaps, on a more serious inspection, something of its perplexity will disappear, some of its distinctive characters and deeper tendencies more clearly reveal themselves; whereby our own relations to it, our own true aims and endeavors in it, may also become clearer.

 Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects.

 What are your historical Facts; still more your biographical? Wilt thou know a man by stringing-together beadrolls of what thou namest Facts?

 What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself; all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him. . .

 What is aristocracy? A corporation of the best, of the bravest

 What is philosophy but a continual battle against custom?

 What we might call, by way of eminence, the Dismal Science
