Distrust that man who tells you to distrust. He takes the measure of his own small soul, and thinks the world no larger.

The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Love is the only duty that we know.

No question is ever settled until it is settled right.

Keep out of the past. It is haunted.

Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend; Nor would I pass, unseeing, worthy need, Or sin by silence when I should defend... "The world is better that I lived to-day."

One ship drives east and another drives west With the selfsame winds that blow. Tis the set of the sails And not the gales Which tells us the way to go. Like the winds of the seas are the ways of fate, As we voyage along through the life: Tis the set of a soul That decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife.
