I'd sooner live among people who don't cheat at cards than among people who are earnest about not cheating at cards.

The more we get what we now call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.

We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves.

Education is only the most fully conscious of the channels whereby each generation influences the next.

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

Not to be, but to seem, virtuous - it is a formula whose utility we all discovered in the nursery.

My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.
