“Manhood is melted into courtesies, valour into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.”

“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
