A man is known by the books he reads.

A man is a method, a progressive arrangement, a selecting principle, gathering his like unto him wherever he goes. What you are comes to you.

A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye . . .

Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying.

The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it

A man cannot utter 2 or 3 sentences without disclosing to intelligent ears precisely where he stands in life and thought . . .
