I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

If you look toward the sunshine, you will never see the shadows.

If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.

I grow more and more suspicious of the political powers that take men away from their work and set them shooting one another.

Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.

Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words; but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
