Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature.

Resign yourself to the influence of the earth.

Of what significance the light of day, if it is not the reflection of an inward dawn?--to what purpose is the veil of night withdrawn, if the morning reveals nothing to the soul? It is merely garish and glaring.

Even the facts of science may dust the mind by their dryness, unless they are ... rendered fertile by the dews of fresh and living truth. Knowledge does not come to us by details, but in flashes of light from heaven.

There is commonly sufficient space about us. Our horizon is never quite at our elbows.

The man whose horse trots a mile in a minute does not carry the most important messages.

It makes no odds where a man goes or stays, if he is only about his business.
