A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.
Even the lowliest, provided he is whole, can be happy, and in his own . way, perfect.
It matters little whether a man be mathematically or philologically or artistically cultivated, so he be but cultivated.
Men are joined by conviction, sundered by opinion.
We learn to treasure what is above this earth; we long for revelation, which nowhere burns more purely and more beautifully than in the New Testament.
