There comes no adventure but wears to our soul the shape of our everyday thoughts.

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

I have never for one instant seen clearly within myself. How then would you have me judge the deeds of others?

How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words.

To disdain today is to prove that yesterday has been misunderstood.

They think that nothing will happen because they have closed their doors, and they do not know that it is in the soul that things always happen, and that the world does not end at their housedoor.

Wisdom requires no form; her beauty must vary, as varies the beauty of flame. She is no motionless goddess, for ever couched on her throne.
