If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you.

You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.

Love can make us fiends as well as angels.

If you wish to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you, what people think of you; and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch; you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything God sends you; you will be as wretched as you choose.

We ought to reverence books; to look on them as useful and mighty things. If they are good and true, whether they are about religion, politics, farming, trade, law, or medicine, they are the message of Christ, the maker of all things - the teacher of all truth.

The world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows the rain; and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again.

Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
