Quote

Stupidity is an elemental force for which no earthquake is a match

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins

Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all

Progress, under whose feet the grass mourns and the forest turns into paper from which newspaper plants grow, has subordinated the purpose of life to the means of subsistence and turned us into the nuts and bolts for our tools

Habits wear more constantly and with greatest force than reason, which, when we have most need of it, is seldom fairly consulted, and more rarely obeyed
