We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Evil and good are God's right hand and left.

Sorrow is a stone that crushes a single bearer to the ground, while two are able to carry it with ease.

There is no disappointment we endure one-half so great as what we are to ourselves.

All are of the race of God, and have in themselves good.

There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence.

The sole equality on earth is death.
