Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.

Men shut their doors against a setting sun.

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!
