Make the most of every sense; glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you...

There's only one story, the story of your life.

For three things I thank God every day of my life: thanks that he has vouchsafed me knowledge of his works; deep thanks that he has set in my darkness the lamp of faith; deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to--a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.

I have an unshakable belief that mankind's higher nature is on the whole still dormant. The greatest souls reveal excellencies of mind and heart which their lesser fellows possess-hidden, it is true, but there all the same.

Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.
