"If we take matrimony at it's lowest, we regard it as a sort of friendship recognised by the police."
Friendship
"There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world."
Being
"Of what shall a man be proud, if he is not proud of his friends?"
Friendship
"All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer."
Language
"To be honest, to be kind - to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends but these without capitulation - above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself - here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy. He has an ambitious soul who would ask more; he has a hopeful spirit who should look in such an enterprise to be successful."
Character

Action
"It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive."
Journey
"The most racking pangs succeeded: a grinding in the bones, deadly nausea, and a horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour of birth or death. Then these agonies began swiftly to subside, and I came to myself as if out of a great sickness. There was something strange in my sensations, something indescribably sweet. I felt younger, lighter, happier in body; within I was conscious of a heady recklessness, a current of disordered sensual images running like a millrace in my fancy, a solution of the bonds of obligation, an unknown but innocent freedom of the soul. I knew myself, at the first breath of this new life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a slave to my original evil and the thought, in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine."
Experience
