A man who has depths in his shame meets his destiny and his delicate decisions upon paths which few ever reach . . .

Among the wealthy, generosity is often merely a kind of shyness.

However unchristian it may seem, I do not even bear any ill feeling towards myself.

We should be a mirror of being: we are God in miniature.
