There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

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.

It is ever true that he who does nothing for others, does nothing for himself." ~ Goethe

At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past.

A resolution that is communicated is no longer within thy power; thy attentions become now the plaything of chance; he who would have his commands certainly carried out must take man by surprise.
