"I had a clear idea about what..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“The diversity of language alienates man from man”

“Slavery is not penal in character and planned by that law which commands the preservation of the natural order and forbids disturbance.”

“When large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other's flame.”

“Discard everything except these few truths: we can live only in the present moment, in this brief now; all the rest of our life is dead and buried or shrouded in uncertainty. Short is the life we lead, and small our patch of earth.”

“The streets looked small, of course. The streets that we have only seen as children always do I believe when we go back to them”

“Whatever may be said against the chewing of tobacco, this at least can be said of it, that it gives a man time to think between sentences.”

“This relationship will help guarantee that, for generations to come, people of all nations will understand my beliefs and my purpose”

“Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.”

“What the essential difference between man and woman is, that they should be thus attracted to one another, no one has satisfactorily answered. Perhaps we must acknowledge the justness of the distinction which assigns to man the sphere of wisdom, and to woman that of love, though neither belongs exclusively to either. Man is continually saying to woman, Why will you not be more wise? Woman is continually saying to man, Why will you not be more loving? It is not in their wills to be wise or to be loving; but, unless each is both wise and loving, there can be neither wisdom nor love.”
