I have written too much history to have faith in it and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.

No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself.

Friends are born, not made.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.
