Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.

Writing is like carrying a fœtus.

Sham liberty will be proclaimed everywhere.

Reality does not conform to the ideal, but confirms it.

We die daily. 

Happy those who daily come to life as well.

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

They also serve who only stand and wait.

Climate is what we expect, 

weather is what we get.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, 

for he shall never be disappointed.

An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason
