Conquer thyself, till thou has done this, thou art but a slave; for it is almost as well to be subjected to another's appetite as to thine own.

Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause; He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws.

All Faith is false, all Faith is true:
Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes
His little bit the whole to own.

Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.

The thoroughbred wanderer

A man that hoards up riches and enjoys them not, is like an ass that carries gold and eats thistles.
