Women see better than men. Men see lazily, if they do not expect to act. Women see quite without any wish to act.

For, the sense of being which in calm hours rises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them, and proceeds obviously from the same source whence their life and being also proceed. We first share the life by which things exist, and afterwards see them as appearances in nature, and forget that we have shared their cause. Here is the fountain of action and of thought.

With most men, scarce a link of memory holds yesterday and to-day together.

Why should I hasten to solve every riddle which life offers me? I am well assured that the Questioner, who brings me so many problems, will bring me the answers also, in due time.

Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.

It is one soul which animates all men.

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
