That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.

We mortals cross the ocean of this world Each in his average cabin of a life; The bests not big, the worst yields elbowroom.

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so; life's business being just the terrible choice.

When I love most, love is disguised. In hate; and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.

How good is life, the mere living!

I say, the acknowledgment of God in ChristAccepted by thy reason, solves for theeAll questions in the earth and out of it,And has so far advanced thee to be wise.

To do good things in the world, first you must know who you are and what gives meaning to your life.
