We are more disturbed by a calamity which threatens us than by one which has befallen us.

Worry, whatever its source, weakens, takes away courage, and shortens life.

What we love to do we find time to do.

Those who believe in our ability do more than stimulate us. They create for us an atmosphere in which it becomes easier to succeed.

Women are aristocrats, and it is always the mother who makes us feel that we belong to the better sort.

As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape.

The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.
