-Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or in other words a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

-There is no defense against adverse fortune which is so effectual as an habitual sense of humor.

-When a thought takes one's breath away, a grammar lesson seems an impertinence.
