Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.

The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.

God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.

Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.

Death hangs over thee, While thou still live, while thou may, do good.

Either an ordered Universe or a medley heaped together mechanically but still an order; or can order subsist in you and disorder in the Whole! And that, too, when all things are so distinguished and yet intermingled and sympathetic.

Anything that is beautiful is beautiful just as it is. Praise forms no part of its beauty, since praise makes things neither better nor worse. This applies even more to what it commonly called beautiful: natural objects, for example, or works of art. True beauty has no need of anything beyond itself.
