“I do not think that there is so much wretchedness in us as vanity; we are not so much wicked as daft; we are not so much full of evil as of inanity; we are not so much pitiful as despicable.”

“I care not so much what I am in the opinion of others, as what I am in my own.”

“I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.”

“Handling and use by able minds give value to a language, not so much by innovating as by filling it out with more vigorous and varied services, by stretching and bending it.”
