A crowd of fellow-sufferers is a miserable kind of comfort.
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
Nothing is as certain as that the vices of leisure are gotten rid of by being busy.
True happiness is...to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
