I Can Promise To Be Sincere, But

It Seems To Me That Every Phenomenon, Every Fact, Itself Is The Really Interesting Object. Whoever Explains It, Or Connects It With Other Events, Usually Only Amuses Himself Or Makes Sport Of Us, As, For Instance, The Naturalist Or Historian. But A Single Action Or Event Is Interesting, Not Because It Is Explainable, But Because It Is True.

I Hate Every Violent Overthrow, Because As Much Is Destroyed As Is Gained By It.

Passions Are Vices Or Virtues To Their Highest Powers.

A State Of Affairs Which Leads To Daily Vexation Is Not The Right State.

Merely To Breathe Freely Does Not Mean To Live.
