“True enthusiasm is a fine feeling whose flash I admire where-ever I see it”

“It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead - these the living”

“The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness”

“Enthusiastic admiration is the first principle of knowledge and its last.”

“So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women”

“There's a woman like a dew-drop, she's so purer than the purest”
