It is the fine souls who serve us, and not what is called fine society. Fine society is only a self-protection against the vulgarities of the street and the tavern.

A little integrity is better than any career.

A breath of will blows eternally through the universe of souls in the direction of Right and Necessity. It is the air which all intellects inhale and exhale, and it is the wind which blows the worlds into order and orbit.

The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

A skilful man reads his dreams for his selfknowledge; yet not the details, but the quality.

In youth, we clothe ourselves with rainbows, and go as brave as the zodiac.
