Through the picture, I see reality. Through the word, I understand it. Every second is of infinite value. From a distance it is something, and nearby it is nothing. There are more men ennobled by study than by nature. No person was ever honoured for what he received. Honour has been the reward for what he gave. Boys should abstain from all use of wine until their eighteenth year, for it is wrong to add fire to fire. The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it emotionally. As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom. Has a woman who knew that she was well dressed ever caught a cold? Hope is the positive mode of awaiting the future. Skepticism means, not intellectual doubt alone, but moral doubt. Poetry is a mug's game. Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly. Power is ever stealing from the many to the few. A cynic can chill and dishearten with a single word. Women can do everything; men can do the rest. It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. You have to erect a fence and say, "Okay, scale this." The busiest man is the happiest man. Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business.
