The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.

Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do.

We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.

It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to affirm whatever he pleases; but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, this is the mark and character of intelligence.

Love is the life of humanity.

Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
