Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Prayers are to men as dolls are to children.
There is no true gracefulness which is not epitomized goodness.
I really do not see much use in exalting the humble and meek; they do not remain humble and meek long when they are exalted.
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
