 There are only three pleasures in life pure and lasting, and all derived from inanimate things -- books, pictures, and the face of nature.

 There are two classes of people that I have observed who are not so distinct as might be imagined -- those who cannot keep their own money in their hands, and those who cannot keep their hands from other people's.

 There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amends for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods.

 There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion.

 There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you.

 There is a softness and a harmony in the words and in the thought unparalleled. Of all conceits it is surely the most classical. "I count only the hours that are serene."

 There is an unseemly exposure of the mind, as well as of the body

 There is no force but argument in the case, and it is reason, not the will of another, that gives the law.

 There is no one thoroughly despicable. We cannot descend much lower than an idiot; and an idiot has some advantages over a wise man.

 There is no prejudice so strong as that which arises from a fancied exemption from all prejudice.

 There is nothing good to be had in the country, or, if there be, they will not let you have it

 There is nothing more likely to drive a man mad, than the being unable to get rid of the idea of the distinction between right and wrong, and an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.

 There is nothing more likely to drive a person mad than . . . an obstinate, constitutional preference of the truth to the agreeable.

 There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character.
