It is better - it shall be better with me because I have known you.

As leopard feels at home with leopard.

In the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little.

I trust you as holy men trust God; you could do nought that was not pure and loving, though the deed might pierce me unto death.

... when one's outward lot is perfect, the sense of inward imperfection is the more pressing.

May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good; some little grace; one kindly thought; one aspiration yet unfelt; one bit of courage for the darkening sky; one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life; one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.

That golden sky, which was the doubly blessed symbol of advancing day and of approaching rest.
