Shakspeare is the only biographer of Shakspeare; and even he can tell nothing, except to the Shakspeare in us; that is, to our most apprehensive and sympathetic hour.

A man in a cave or in a camp, a nomad, will die with no more estate than the wolf or the horse leaves.

The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.

Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.

Men achieve a certain greatness unawares when working to another aim.

We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds... A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men.

A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.
