Quotes
- “Shrews are tamed only by silence.”
- “The people liked the prospect of the end of the world because it would be a spectacle, something to relieve the fearful monotony of their lives. Funerals and weddings were commonplace, and nothing could have been so interesting to them as the coming of the end of the world, ... unless it had been a first-class circus.”
- “Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.”
- “I studied mind-cure, or metaphysical healing, which strikes at the root of disease; I went into hypnotism, mesmerism, and phrenomagnetism, and the od force—I don't suppose you know about the od which Reichenbach discovered.”
- “Journalism is organized gossip.”
- “Christ's example is opposed, not to temperance, but to asceticism. Even the example of Jesus Christ must be followed in the light of common sense. What He might do in one age or nation we may find perilous in a different state of society. It is our bounden duty to abstain from that which causeth our brother to offend, whether it be meat or wine. But let us always distrust those who twist the plain language of Scripture in an endeavour to prove that what Christ drank was not wine.”
