The Aphorism is able to flash light into regions where reason shines but dimly.

Character is the spiritual body of the person, and represents the individualisation of vital experience, the conversion of unconscious things into self-conscious men.

Comfort is the god of this world, but comfort it will never obtain by making it an object.

Genius is not a single power, but a combination of great powers. It reasons, but it is not reasoning; it judges, but it is not judgment; imagines, but it is not imagination; it feels deeply and fiercely, but it is not passion. It is neither, because it is all.

Talent is a cistern; genius, a fountain.

Work is, like everything else that is good, its own reward.
