"No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable" — Adam Smith

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time

Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbours.

The self-assured believer is a greater sinner in the eyes of God than the troubled disbeliever

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey

Nothing is to me more distasteful than that entire complacency and satisfaction which beam in the countenances of a new-married couple
