The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul

Whoever fights, whoever falls, Justice conquers evermore

You do not get power so that you can go out and do things, you go out and do things and you will get the power

Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life. People only see what they are prepared to see.

Let not the emphasis of hospitality lie in bed and board; but let truth and love and honor and courtesy flow in all thy deeds.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I seek the Vatican, and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.

You cannot do a kindness too soon.
