 The wise become as the unwise in the enchanted chambers of Power, whose lamps make every face the same colour. |
| The writing of the wise are the only riches our posterity cannot squander. |
| There are no fields of amaranth on this side of the grave: there are no voices, O Rhodope! that are not soon mute, however tuneful: there is no name, with whatever emphasis of passionate love repeated, of which the echo is not faint at last. |
| There is delight in singing, though none hear beside the singer |
| There is no easy path leading out of life, and few easy ones that lie within it |
| There is nothing on earth divine except humanity. |
| Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it. |
| Truth, like the juice of the poppy, in small quantities, calms men; in larger, heats and irritates them, and is attended by fatal consequences in excess |
| We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier. |
| We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented. |
| We often fancy that we suffer from ingratitude, while in reality we suffer from self-love |
| We talk on principal, but act on motivation. |
| We talk on principle, but we act on interest |
| We talk on principle, but we act on interest |
| We talk on principle, but we act on interest |
