God will not have his work made manifest by cowards

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.

When a man becomes cultivated, he develops a new respect for who he is. This causes him to be ashamed of his past identification of himself and others according to things, i.e. property.

If you have a nation of men who have risen to that height of moral cultivation that they will not declare war or carry arms, for they have not so much madness left in their brains, you have a nation of lovers, of benefactors, of true, great, and able men.

The heroic soul does not sell its justice and its nobleness. It does not ask to dine nicely and to sleep warm. The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough. Poverty is its ornament. It does not need plenty, and can very well abide its loss.

He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser.

Life is a boundless privilege, and when you pay for your ticket, and get into the car, you have no guess what good company you shall find there.
