Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.

Faith is certitude without proofs ... Faith is a sentiment, for it is a hope; it is an instinct, for it precedes all outward instruction.

[T]he habit of scientific analysis ... exhausts the material offered to it.

Tears are the symbol of the inability of the soul to restrain its emotion and retain its self command.

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.

Life is but a daily oscillation between revolt and submission.

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
