Force

Anything forced is not beautiful

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark

Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey

He who opens a school door, closes a prison

The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness

Grandeur of character lies wholly in force of soul, that is, in the force of thought, moral principle, and love, and this may be found in the humblest condition of life

One of the tremendous evils of the world, is the monstrous accumulation of power in a few hands

Of all treasons against humanity, there is no one worse than his who employs great intellectual force to keep down the intellect of his less favored brothers

To advise is not to compel

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