Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The aim of living is life itself.

We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.

Rejoice that you have still have a long time to live, before the thought comes to you that there is nothing more in the world to see.

People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not.

We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies

Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded.
