The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.

I have received no assurance that anything we can do will eradicate suffering. I think the best results are obtained by people who work quietly away at limited objectives, such as the abolition of the slave trade, or prison reform, or factory acts, or tuberculosis, not by those who think they can achieve universal justice, or health, or peace. I think the art of life consists in tackling each immediate evil as well as we can.

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
