"The face is a picture of the..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The proof of a well-trained mind is that it rejoices in which is good and grieves at the opposite.”

“Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.”

“A youth of sensuality and intemperance delivers over to old age a worn-out body.”

“No reception without reaction, no impression without correlative expression, -this is the great maxim which the teacher ought never to forget.”

“For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem.”

“Shakespeare possesses the power of subordinating nature for the purposes of expression, beyond all poets. His imperial muse tosses the creation like a bauble from hand to hand, and uses it to embody any caprice of thought that is uppermost in his mind. The remotest spaces of nature are visited, and the farthest sundered things are brought together, by subtle spiritual connection. We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet.”

“When two minds of a high order, interested in kindred subjects, come together, their conversation is chiefly remarkable for the summariness of its allusions and the rapidity of its transitions. Before one of them is half through a sentence the other knows his meaning and replies. ... His mental lungs breathe more deeply, in an atmosphere more broad and vast.”

“Don't let them fool ya, or even try to school ya! Oh, no! We've got a mind of our own, so go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!”

“No idea is conceived in our mind independent of our five senses [i.e., no idea is divinely inspired].”
