But sometimes, by the deserving and the fortunate, even that task is accomplished. And when it is accomplished— behold!— all the truth of life is there: a moment of vision, a sigh, a smile— and the return to an eternal rest.

El pasado es la sustancia de que el tiempo está hecho; por ello es que éste se vuelve pasado en seguida.

What a person praises is perhaps a surer standard, even than what he condemns, of his own character, information and abilities.

It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life.

Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.

Many are ambitious of saying grand things, that is, of being grandiloquent.

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.
