The Body Is An Instrument, The Mind

It Is A Great Advantage For A System Of Philosophy To Be Substantially True.

My Soul Hates The Fool Whose Only Passion Is To Live By Rule.

Artists Have No Less Talents Than Ever, Their Taste, Their Vision, Their Sentiment Are Often Interesting; They Are Mighty In Their Independence And Feeble Only In Their Works.

The Aim Of Life Is Some Way Of Living, As Flexible And Gentle As Human Nature; So That Ambition May Stoop To Kindness, And Philosophy To Condor And Humor. Neither Prosperity Nor Empire Nor Heaven Can Be Worth Winning At The Price Of A Virulent Temper, Bloody Hands, An Anguished Spirit, And A Vain Hatred Of The Rest Of The World.

Existence Is A Miracle, And, Morally Considered, A Free Gift From Moment To Moment.
