My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.

But while I breathe Heaven's air and Heaven looks down on me, And smiles at my best meanings, I remain Mistress of mine own self and mine own soul.

Man's word is God in man.

Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be… And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.

Better not to be at all Than not to be noble.

We needs must love the highest when we see it.
