There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word.

We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.

The man, who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world.

All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do.... Build, therefore, your own world.

You must elect your work; you shall take what your brains can, and drop all the rest. Only so can that amount of vital force accumulate which can make the step from knowing to doing. No matter how much faculty of idle seeing a man has, the step from knowing to doing is rarely taken. It is a step out of a chalk circle of imbecility into fruitfulness.

Take the place and attitude to which you see your unquestionable right, and all men acquiesce.

My hours are peaceful centuries.
