If you look after the pennies, the dollars will look after themselves.

Learn to obey before you command.

What is hope? nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication.

O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts.

I muse with the greatest affection on every flower I have known from my infancy - their shapes and colours are as new to me as if I had just created them with a superhuman fancy - It is because they are connected with the most thoughtless and happiest moments of our lives.

If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me - nothing to make my friends proud of my memory - but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.

Life may change, but it may fly not;<br> Hope may vanish, but can die not;<br> Truth be veiled, but still it burneth;<br> Love replused - but it returneth

Death is a veil which those who live call life, Sleep and it is lifted.

What the imagination seizes as beauty must be the truth.
