Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
