Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.

All things are known to the soul.

Men in all ways are better than they seem.

In the moment when you make the least petition to God, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,--do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act, the soul stands alone with God, and Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.

The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to hermother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.

A part of fate is the freedom of man. Forever wells up the impulse of choosing and acting in his soul.

Every natural action is graceful.
