Woman's dearest delight is to wound Man's self-conceit though Man's dearest delight is to gratify hers.

Truth strikes us from behind and in the dark, as well as from before and in broad daylight.

The true spirit of delight the exultation the sense of being more than Man which is the touchstone of the highest excellence is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.

The fiery trials through which we pass will light us down in honour or dishonour to the latest generation.

One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.

May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
