The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Freedom cannot be bestowed - it must be achieved.

Wisdom must go with Sympathy, else the emotions will become maudlin and pity may be wasted on a poodle instead of a child-on a field-mouse instead of a human soul.

If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.

Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.

Play needs direction as well as work.

A little more patience, a little more charity for all, a little more devotion, a little more love; with less bowing down to the past, and a silent ignoring of pretended authority; brave looking forward to the future with more faith in our fellows, and the race will be ripe for a great burst of light and life.
