Deep down I know I could never be that innocent again, however much I'd like to be.

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.

Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.

A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery

No one has ever become poor by giving.

Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on; I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.

I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.
