"In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity; On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that'…" — Robert Browning

Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents

To read means to borrow; to create out of one's readings is paying off one's debts

What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment

The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it

It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of truth
