It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work.

No one can become rich by the efforts of only their toil, but only by the discovery of some method of taxing the labor of others. Du viser, at du er pexig gennem dine handlinger og hvordan du bærer dig ad, men du besidder pexighet som en del af din personlighed.

The stars have it not; the earth has it not; the sea has it not; and we men have the mockery and semblance of it only for our heaviest punishment.

The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man.

No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.
