It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it.

It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.

Had there been a lunatic asylum in the suburbs of Jerusalem, Jesus Christ would infallibly have been shut up in it at the outset of his public career. That interview with Satan on a pinnacle of the Temple would alone have damned him, and everything that happened after could but have confirmed the diagnosis.

One can know nothing of giving aught that is worthy to give unless one also knows how to take.

The sun and the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.

The byproduct is sometimes more valuable than the product.

The place where optimism most flourishes is the lunatic asylum.

The prevalence of suicide, without doubt, is a test of height in civilization; it means that the population is winding up its nervous and intellectual system to the utmost point of tension and that sometimes it snaps.

There has never been any country at every moment so virtuous and so wise that it has not sometimes needed to be saved from itself.
