I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight; silence would teach them the joys of sound.

So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.

Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind.

Be heroes in an army of construction.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

Smells are the fallen angels of the senses.

Tolerance is the first principle of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think.
