There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

The soul refuses limits and always affirms an optimism, never a pessimism.

A fact is the end or last issue of spirit. The visible creation is the terminus or the circumference of the invisible world.

We are shut up in school and college recitation rooms for ten to fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing. We cannot use our hands, or our legs, or our eyes, or our arms. We do not know an edible root in the woods. We cannot tell our course by the stars, nor the hour of day by the sun. It is well if we can swim and skate. We are afraid of a horse or a cow, of a dog, of a cat, of a spider. Far better was the Roman rule to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing.

The world is so beautiful that I can hardly believe it exists.

Earth laughs in flowers.
