It is belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found capital safely invested and richly productive of interest, although I have sometimes made but a bad use of it.

We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

The older we grow, the greater become the ordeals.

To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.

What we do not understand we do not possess.

And step by step, along the path of life, There's nothing true but Heaven.
