Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.

Everyone being allowed to learn to read ruins in the long run not only writing but also thinking.

A thought comes when it will, not when I will.

I still live, I still think: I still have to live, for I still have to think.

We cannot even reproduce our thoughts entirely in words.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
