"To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues." |
"Perfect love holds the secret of the world's perfect liberty." |
"Love is the only bow on Life's dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart -- builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody -- for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods." |

"It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably." |
"The safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death." |

"But what is Freedom? Rightly understood,
A universal licence to be good." |
"Under God we are determined that, wheresoever, whensoever, or howsoever, we shall be called upon to make our exit, we will die freemen." |
