“The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love,The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.”

“He's a soldier; and for one to say a soldier lies, is stabbing.”

“If we are wise, let us prepare for the worst.”

Let him hear in season, that he is born into the state of war, and that the commonwealth and his own well-being require that he should not go dancing in the weeds of peace, but warned, self- collected, and neither defying nor dreading the thunder, let him take both reputation and life in his hand, and, with perfect urbanity, dare the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behaviour.”

“In everything, there are two kinds of development-analytical and synthetical. In the former the Hindus excel other nations. In the latter they are nil.”

“According to this philosophy, each man consists of three parts - the body, the internal organ or the mind, and behind that, what is called the Atman, the Self.”

“Skepticism, is that anything more than we used to mean when we said, Well, what have we here?”
