There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.

There is but one philosophy and its name is fortitude! To bear is to conquer our fate.

The more the merely human part of the poet remains a mystery, the more willing is the reverence given to his divine mission.

Expression is the mystery of beauty.

Kindness like light speaks in the air it gilds.

The easiest person to deceive is one's self.

We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.
