It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth.
Subject: Fate & Destiny

The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.

Who knows what true loneliness is - not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.

Action is consolatory. It is the enemy of thought and the friend of flattering illusions.

Hang ideas! They are tramps, vagabonds, knocking at the back-door of your mind, each taking a little of your substance, each carrying away some crumb of that belief in a few simple notions you must cling to if you want to live decently and would like to die easy!

Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.

A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.

The sea - this truth must be confessed - has no generosity. No display of manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.

It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.

The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it; but man will never on his heap of mud keep still.

Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.

You can't, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty.

They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience.

Don't talk to me of your Archimedes' lever. He was an absentminded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.

As to honor - you know - it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn't theirs.
