If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.

Lose yourself in nature and find peace

Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood or appreciated.

We walk alone in the world. Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.

It is one soul which animates all men.

We pass for what we are. Character teaches above our wills. Men imagine that they communicate thier virtue or vice by overt actions, and do not see that virtue or vice emit a breath ever moment....One tendency unites them all. The voyage of the best ship is a zsig zag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficent distance and it straightens itslef to the average tendency.
