There are no judgments so harsh as those of the erring, the inexperienced, and the young.

... it does not do to tell great people anything unpleasant.

With faces like dead lovers who died true.

The man who does his work, any work, conscientiously, must always be in one sense a great man.

A true test of friendship, to sit or walk with a friend for an hour in perfect silence , without wearying of one another's company.

Keep what is worth keeping and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

It is not the smallest use to try to make people good, unless you try at the same time - and they feel that you are trying - to make them happy. And you rarely can make another happy, unless you are happy yourself.
