“He looks like a man who has spent most of his life frowning.”

“A man who has spent most of his adult life trying out a series of patent medicines is always an optimist.”

“He had the muscular definition of a man who had spent his life restraining elephants in heat.”

“Only the eyes give him away his equilibrium. He looks like a man who has seen too much”

“The man who finds that in the course of his life he has done a lot of wrong often wakes up at night in terror, like a child with a nightmare, and his life is full of foreboding: but the man who is conscious of no wrongdoing is filled with cheerfulness and with the comfort of old age.”

“To live is not to breathe but to act. It is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties, of all the parts of ourselves which give us the sentiment of our existence. The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life.”
