If in the least particular, one could derange the order of nature, who would accept the gift of life?

Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.

Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.

Every great institution is the lengthened shadow of a single man. His character determines the character of the organization.

A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single.

Accept your genius and say what you think.

Though we love goodness and not stealing, yet also we love freedom and not preaching.
