Quote

If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time

Talent develops in tranquility, character in the full current of human life

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth

You must, therefore, live with your enemies, as you cannot always live with your friends

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
