Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

You hate Jesus because someone from the North Country said He was the Son of God. But you hate one another because each of you deems himself too great to be the brother of the next man.

My proof convinces the ignorant, and the wise man's proof convinces me. But he whose reasoning falls between wisdom and ignorance, I neither can convince him, nor can he convince me.

Life without Liberty is like a body without spirit. Liberty without thought is like a disturbed spirit.

Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay. And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
