One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.

To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed That can make life a garden.

One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days

Our hands we open of our own free will, and the good flies, which we can never recall.

Distance... is like futurity. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.

The worst is that the very hardest thinking will not bring thoughts. They must come like good children of God and cry, "Here we are." You expend effort and energy thinking hard. Then, after you have given up, they come sauntering in with their hands in their pockets. If the effort had not been made to open the door, however, who knows when they could have come.

I am the Spirit that denies.
