 His works (taken together) are almost like a new edition of human nature.

 His worst is better than any other person's best.

 Honesty is one part eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.

 Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.

 I conceive that words are like money, not the worse for being common, but that it is the stamp of custom alone that gives them circulation or value.

 I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be.
