To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent.
Every life is a profession of faith.
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers.
Life is but a daily oscillation between revolt and submission.
Our life is nothing, it is true, but our life is divine. A breath of nature annihilates us, but we surpass nature in penetrating far beyond her vast phantasmagoria to the changeless and the eternal.
The growth and development of the soul is more important than power and glory.
