Architecture is frozen music! - [Architecture] As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely. - [Pardon] Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished. - [Enthusiasm] Courage of soul is necessary for the triumphs of genius. - [Genius] Divine wisdom, intending to detain us some time on earth, has done well to cover with a veil the prospect of life to come; for if our sight could clearly distinguish the opposite bank, who would remain on this tempestuous coast? - [Future] Doubtless the human face is the grandest of all mysteries; yet fixed on canvas it can hardly tell of more than one sensation; no struggle, no successive contrasts accessible to dramatic art, can painting give, as neither time nor motion exists for her. - [Face] Enthusiasm gives life to what is invisible; and interest to what has no immediate action on our comfort in this world. - [Enthusiasm] Frivolity, under whatever form it appears, takes from attention its strength, from thought its originality, from feeling its earnestness. - [Frivolity] Gaiety pleases more when we are assured that it does not cover carelessness. - [Gaiety] Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness. - [Glory] Good taste cannot supply the place of genius in literature, for the best proof of taste, when there is no genius, would be, not to write at all. - [Taste] Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest? - [Faith] How true it is that, sooner or later, the' most rebellious must bow beneath the yoke of misfortune! - [Misfortune] However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness.
