Civilization Is Only Savagery Silver-gilt.

The Almighty Gave Us Our Lives, And I Suppose He Meant Us To Defend Them, At Least I Have Always Acted On That, And I Hope It Will Not Be Brought Up Against Me When My Clock Strikes.

As I Grow Older, I Regret To Say That A Detestable Habit Of Thinking Seems To Be Getting A Hold Of Me.

Civilization Is Only Savagery Silver-gilt.

I Have Never Observed That The Religious Are More Eager To Die Than The Rest Of Us Poor Mortals.

Truly Time Should Be Measured By Events, And Not By The Lapse Of Hours.
