Quote's time

A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful. - Frederick Robertson

A saint is a marvel, a demon is a misfortune; but a demon who poses as a saint is as absolute tragedy. - Can't recall who said this, nor am I sure this rendition is accurate

In both love and war, women are more barbarous than men. - Can't recall who said this either

One must repay good and ill, but why precisely to the one who has done us good or ill? - Some German guy.

One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. - Friedrich Nietzsche
