Is it then saying too much if I say, that man by thinking only becomes truly man? Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?

There is no happiness for him who oppresses and persecutes; no, there can be no repose for him. For the sighs of the unfortunate cry for vengeance to heaven.

I learned that no man in God's wide earth is either willing or able to help any other man.

Thinking leads man to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn, as much as he please; he will never know any of it, except that which he has thought over, that which by thinking he has made the property of his mind. Is it then saying too much if I say, that man by thinking only becomes truly man? Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?

Whoever is unwilling to help himself can be helped by no one.

Our home joys are the most delightful earth affords, and the joy of parents in their children is the most holy joy of humanity.
