We can never judge a soul above the high water mark of our own.

Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.

If you love yourself meanly, childishly, timidly, even so shall you love your neighbor.

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.

You do well to have visions of a better life than of every day, but it is the life of every day from which the elements of a better life must come.

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than the animals that know nothing. A day will come when science will turn upon its error and no longer hesitate to shorten our woes. A day will come when it will dare and act with certainty; when life, grown wiser, will depart silently at its hour, knowing that it has reached its term.
