“Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.”

“I have, thanks to my travels, added to my stock all the superstitions of other countries. I know them all now, and in any critical moment of my life, they all rise up in armed legions for or against me.”

“Superstition is the poetry of life.”

“It is bad luck to be superstitious.”

“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”

“The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.”

“Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.”

“What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.”

“The burning of rebellious thoughts in the little breast, of internal hatred and opposition, could not long go on without slight whiffs of external smoke, such as mark the course of subterranean fire.”

“A little reflection will enable any person to detect in himself that setness in trifles which is the result of the unwatched instinct of self-will and to establish over himself a jealous guardianship.”
