Exuberance is beauty.

Cunning

The weak in courage is strong in cunning.

Eternity

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

Fools and Foolishness

A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.

Humankind

Cruelty has a Human Heart, And jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And secrecy the Human Dress. The Human Dress is forged Iron, The Human Form a Fiery Forge, The Human Face a Furnace seal d, The Human Heart its hungry gorge.

Imagination

To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?

Joy

He who binds to himself a joy doth the winged life destroy. But he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in Eternity's sunrise.

Love

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

Opposition

Opposition is true friendship.

Piety

You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of benevolence and virtue; I act with benevolence and virtue and get murdered time after time.

Punishment

Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.

Stardom

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

Truth

For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.

Wisdom

What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
