We tolerate shapes in human beings that would horrify us if we saw them in a horse.

Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter.

Consciousness is a phase of mental life which arises in connection with the formation of new habits. When habit is formed, consciousness only interferes to spoil our performance.

It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own.
