Failure to read what is happening in another's soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.

It is the duty of men to love even those who injure them.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

In reading and writing, you cannot lay down rules until you have learnt to obey them. Much more so in life.

The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.

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.
