第 43 頁 - To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men — that is genius.
第 54 頁 - Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

第 238 頁 - Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Always our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine. As with events, so it is with thoughts.
第 56 頁 - It is always ancient virtue. We worship it to-day because it is not of to-day.
