About Jesus we must believe no one but himself.

Never to tire, never to grow cold; to be patient, sympathetic, tender; to look for the budding flower and the opening heart; to hope always; like God, to love always--this is duty.

How true it is that our destinies are decided by nothings and that a small imprudence helped by some insignificant accident, as an acorn is fertilized by a drop of rain, may raise the trees on which perhaps we and others shall be crucified.

Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness.

Knowledge, love, power-there is the complete life.

Let the living live; and you, gather together your thoughts, leave behind you a legacy of feeling and ideas; you will be most useful so.

You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering.
