While the censorious man is most severe in judging others, he is invariably the most ready to repel any animadversions made upon himself...

True emotions and sincere words never perish. The great heart of humanity gladly receives and embalms every true utterance of the humblest of its offspring.

In what a delightful communion with God does that man live who habitually seeketh love!

Language the most forcible proceeds from the man who is most sincere. The way to speak with power, or to write words that pierce mankind to the quick, is to speak and write honestly.
