To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep.
The basis of every scandal is an immoral certainty.
In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole worldkin.

The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.
We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.
Morality is simply the attitude we adaptto people whom we personally dislike.
A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.
Alittle sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
To realize one’s nature perfectly---that is what each of us is here for.
If there was less sympathy in the world there would be less trouble in the world.
It must be remembered that while sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of joy in the world., sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain. It may make man better able to endure evil, but the evil remains.

Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest of motives.
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man’s face. It cannot be concealed.
There is only one thing worse than injustice, and that is justice without her sword in her hand. When right is not might it is evil.
Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer.
The public is wonderfully tolerant, it forgives everything except genius.
The old believe everything; the middle-aged suspect everything; the young know everything.
