Every man takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

The future, like everything else, is no longer quite what it used to be.

Fate leads the willing and drags along those who hang back.

The world is dying of machinery; that is the great disease, that is the plague that will sweep away and destroy civilization; man will have to rise against it sooner or later.

We must confess that at present the rich predominate, but the future will be for the virtuous and ingenious.
