In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.

In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.

The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.

Imaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.

The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.

Greatness is the aggregation of minuteness; nor can its sublimity be felt truthfully by any mind unaccustomed to the affectionate watching of what is least.

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.
