The great mind knows the power of gentleness.
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Better have failed in the high aim, as I, Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed As, God be thanked! I do not.
Desire joy and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for other's sake. That's joy beyond joy.
Truth is truth howe'er it strike.
Days decrease, / And autumn grows, autumn in everything.
