We are each of us angels with only one wing, to fly we need only embrace each other.
Whatever our creed, we feel that no good deed can by any possibility go unrewarded, no evil deed unpunished.
Action is at bottom a swinging and flailing of the arms to regain one's balance and keep afloat.
To accept a favor is to forfeit liberty.
Don't speak evil of someone if you don't know for certain, and if you do know ask yourself, why am I telling it?
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream not only plan, but also believe.
No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money.
Heaven finds an ear when sinners find a tongue.
A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
However far your travels take you, you will never find the girl who smiles out at you from the travel brochure.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.
Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
Did some more sober critics come abroad? If wrong, I smil'd if right, I kiss'd the rod.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
In the city a funeral is just an interruption of traffic in the country it is a form of popular entertainment.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.
