~ Etiquette; Or, A Guide To The Usages of Society, by Count Alfred D’Orsay, 1843
truth is victory
truth is the beauty of the mind
Aren’t all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won’t accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?
If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
There are no real personalities apart from God. Until you have given up your self to Him you will not have a real self. Sameness is to be found most among the most ‘natural’ men, not among those who surrender to Christ. How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerers have been; how gloriously different are the saints.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.
