Quotes	Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail. The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe. Smiles are the language of love. The poetry from the eighteenth century was prose; the prose from the seventeenth century was poetry. Children always turn to the light. Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides. Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity. No one but a fool is always right. Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor. The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts. Poetry is the key to the hieroglyphics of nature. Sudden resolutions, like the sudden rise of mercury in a barometer, indicate little else than the variability of the weather. Nothing is further than earth from heaven, and nothing is nearer than heaven to earth. Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together. To those whose God is honor; only disgrace is a sin. In oratory the will must predominate. The ultimate tendency of civilization is towards barbarism.
