Washington Irving
An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.

There is no parallel in the history of the world...I don't read books by people who have betrayed...Good words are worth much, and cost little...Beauty and seduction, I believe, is nature's tool...There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man...Where there is no vision, there is no hope...
