Bethink you of the blessedness. Every wife is like the Mother of God and has the hope of bearing a saviour of mankind.

It's a great life, if you don't weaken.

Our sufferings have taught us that no nation is sufficient unto itself, and that our prosperity depends in the long run, not upon the failures of our neighbors but their successes.

Without humility there can be no humanity.

I believe that all wisdom consists in caring immensely for a few right things, and not caring a straw about the rest.

Most true points are fine points. There never was a dispute between mortals where both sides hadn't a bit of right.

To live for a time close to great minds is the best kind of education.
