Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
  • Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light every eye, looking on, finds its own.

  • No author ever drew a character consistent to human nature, but he was forced to ascribe to it many inconsistencies.

  • Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.

  • A reform is a correction of abuses a revolution is a transfer of power.

  • We tell our triumphs to the crowds, but our own hearts are the sole confidants of our sorrows.
