The habit of prayer communicates a penetrating sweetness to the glance, the voice, the smile, the tears,--to all one says, or does, or writes.

Conscientious men are, almost everywhere, less encouraged than tolerated.

Let us pray! God is just, he tries us; God is pitiful, he will comfort us; let us pray!

Philosophers call God the great unknown The great misknown is more like it!

The philosopher spends in becoming a man the time which the ambitious man spends in becoming a personage.

We distrust our heart too much, and our head not enough.

Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite impressions.
