Love gives itself; it is not bought.

The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.

Some must follow and some command, through all are made oclay.

No man is so poor as that. As well might the mountain streamlets say they have nothing worth giving to the sea, because they are not rivers. Give what you have. To some one, it may be better than you dare to think.

We waste our best years in distilling the sweetest flowers of life into potions which, after all, do not immortalize, but only intoxicate.

My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.

Look upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger.
