Quotes

• “... if the breast be uneducated, the gift may curse the giver; and he who passes at once from the slave to the freeman may pass as rapidly from the freeman to the ruffian.”
• “Two lives that once part, are as ships that divideWhen, moment on moment there rushes between   The one and the other, a sea,—Ah, never can fall from the days that have been   A gleam on the years that shall be.”
• “There is no society, however free and democratic, where wealth will not create an aristocracy.”
• “A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.”
• “The easiest person to deceive is one’s own self.”
• “It is not Wisdom, but Ignorance, which teaches men presumption; Genius may be sometimes arrogant, but nothing is so diffident as Knowledge.”
