 Man is a substance clad in shadows. |
| Colors answer feeling in man; shapes answer thought; and motion answers will. |
| There is no lie that a man will not believe; and there is no man who does not believe many lies; and there is no man who believes only lies. |
| Of all the tyrants the world affords, our own affections are the fiercest lords. |
| Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness. |
| The worst education which teaches self-denial, is better than the best which teaches everything else, and not that. |
| Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it. |
| Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one. |
