Men are never convinced of your reasons$$$ of your sincerity$$$ of the seriousness of your sufferings$$$ except by your death. So long as you are alive$$$ your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism.

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

If you want to change the world$$$ you have to change the metaphor.

The whole life of man until he is converted to Christ is a ruinous labyrinth of wanderings.

I discovered that those who seldom dwell on their emotions know better than anyone else just what an emotion is.

If I could always read$$$ I should never feel the want of company.

From such a gentle thing$$$ from such a fountain of all delight$$$ my every pain is born...

If we have not quiet in our minds$$$ outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.

Your presence is a moral poison that would contaminate the most virtuous

We're artists too$$$ but we do a good job hiding it$$$ don't we?
