The true vagrant is the only king above all comparison.

It is not the truth that a man possesses, or believes that he possesses, but the earnest effort which he puts forward to reach the truth, which constitutes the worth of a man

The gift of prayer is not always at our command.

It is not children only that one feeds with fairy tales.

A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.

My God, grant that my bounty may be a clear and transparent river, flowing from pure charity, and uncontaminated by self-love, ambition, or interest. Thanks are due not to me, but Thee, from whom all I possess is derived. And what are the paltry gifts for which my neighbor forgets to thank me, compared with the immense blessings for which I have so often forgotten to be grateful to Thee!

A man who does not lose his reason over certain things has none to lose.
