You Always Admire What You Really Don't

The Mind Of The Greatest Man On Earth Is Not So Independent Of Circumstances As Not To Feel Inconvenienced By The Merest Buzzing Noise About Him; It Does Not Need The Report Of A Cannon To Disturb His Thoughts. The Creaking Of A Vane Or A Pully Is Quite Enough. Do Not Wonder That He Reasons Ill Just Now; A Fly Is Buzzing By His Ear; It Is Quite Enough To Unfit Him For Giving Good Counsel.

The Sum Of A Man's Problems Come From His Inability To Be Alone In A Silent Room.

All Of Our Reasoning Ends In Surrender To Feeling.

Mankind Suffers From Two Excesses: To Exclude Reason, And To Live By Nothing But Reason.

Happiness Is Neither Within Us, Nor Without Us. It Is In The Union Of Ourselves With God.
