Conscience that isnt hitched up to common sense is a mighty dangerous thing.

Every new truth begins in a shocking heresy.

Self-sacrifice which denies common sense is not a virtue. It's a spiritual dissipation.

One must desire something to be alive.

A pint can't hold a quart - if it holds a pint it is doing all that can be expected of it.

The insolence of time is like a blow in the face from an unseen enemy.

Conscience that isn't hitched up to common sense is a mighty dangerous thing.

Convictions do not imply reasons.
