Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.

It is part and parcel of every man's life to develop beauty in himself. All perfect things have in them an element of beauty.

If there be any one whose power is in beauty, in purity, in goodness, it is a woman.

A man that puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be against him, is mightier than all of them.

We never know how much one loves till we know how much he is willing to endure and suffer for us; and it is the suffering element that measures love. The characters that are great must, of necessity, be characters that shall be willing, patient and strong to endure for others. To hold our nature in the willing service of another is the divine idea of manhood, of the human character.

A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it.

The moment an ill can be patiently handled, it is disarmed of its poison, though not of its pain.
