Wisdom

"I was born modest not all over but in spots."

Character

"Nature has no originality--I mean, no large ability in the matter of inventing new things, new ideas, new stage effects. She has a superb and amazing and infinitely varied equipment of old ones, but she never adds to them. She repeats--repeats--repeats--repeats. Examine your memory and your experience; you will find it is true."

Philosophy

"In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them."

Literature

"Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed down-stairs one step at a time."

Psychology

"Never let your education interfere with your learning."

Advice

"Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste."

Religion

"The Bible has noble poetry in it... and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies."

Religion

"Most writers regard the truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are economical in its use."

Literature

"There's one way to find out if a man is honest: ask him; if he says yes, you know he's crooked."
