I have found life so beautiful.

Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Now, however, I see the folly of attempting to hitch one's wagon to a star with a harness that does not belong to it.

Once I knew the depth where no hope was and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.
