Present unhappiness is selfish; past sorrow is compassionate.
The egoist does not tolerate egoism.
God is a shower to the heart burned up with grief; God is a sun to the face deluged with tears.
No labor is hopeless.
There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts.
There is a slowness in affairs which ripens them, and a slowness which rots them.
