Never lose an opportunity to see anything that is beautiful. It is God's handwriting a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower.

Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know.

Life itself is ... a sleep within a sleep.

There is genius as well in virtue as in intellect. 'Tis the doctrine of faith over works.

Character is higher than intellect... A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.

Men are lenses through which we read our own minds.

Knowledge exists to be imparted.
