The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance.

Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.

Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.

The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best.

Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.
