True humility is contentment.

The test of every religious, political, or educational system, is the man which it forms. If a system injures the intelligence it is bad. If it injures the character it is vicious. If it injures the conscience it is criminal.

There is no respect for others without humility in one's self.

Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation applied to life.

At bottom, everything depends upon the presence or absence of one single element in the soul - HOPE

The great majority of men are but tangled skeins, imperfect keyboards, so many specimens of restless or stagnant chaos--and what makes their situation almost hopeless is the fact that they take pleasure in it. There is no curing a sick man who believes himself in health.

Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers.
