There is nothing perfectly secure but poverty.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies.

The holiest of holidays are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.

Welcome, Disappointment! Thy hand is cold and hard, but it is the hand of a friend. Thy voice is stern and harsh, but it is the voice of a friend. Oh, there is something sublime in calm endurance, something sublime in the resolute, fixed purpose of suffering without complaining, which makes disappointment oftentimes better than success!

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.

Difficulty on the way to victory is opportunity for God to work

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again.
