-
The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.
-
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
-
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption it is not a symbol, but a fraud.
-
Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.
