Real philosophy seeks rather to solve than to deny.

Love is the business of the idle, but the idleness of the busy

Sublime Philosophy! Thou art the patriarch's ladder, reaching heaven; And bright with beckoning angels--but alas! We see thee like the patriarch, but in dreams, By the first step,--dull slumbering on the earth.

A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.

Patience is the courage of the conqueror, the strength of man against destiny

A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.
