      - [Romance]

There would not be so much harm in the giddy following the fashions, if somehow the wise could always set them.

      - [Weakness]

What a man knows should find its expression in what he does. The value of superior knowledge is chiefly in of that it leads to a performing manhood.

What we call conscience, in many instances, is only a wholesome fear of the constable.
      - [Conscience]

When all else is lost, the future still remains.
