A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.
