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

The conscious utterance of thought, by speech or action, to any end, is art.

I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity. All men, all things, the state, the church, yea the friends of the heart are phantasms and unreal beside the sanctuary of the heart. With so much awe, with so much fear, let it be respected.

The unique impression of Jesus upon mankind - whose name is not so much written as ploughed into the history of the world - is proof of the subtle virtue of this infusion.
