"Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs."
"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last."
"There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort."
"Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour ... If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?"

"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last."
