True happiness is...to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

No man can live happily who regards himself alone, who turns everything to his own advantage. Thou must live for another, if thou wishest to live for thyself.

That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.

They who have light in themselves will not revolve as satellites.

Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness; life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.

The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution; who resists to sorest temptation from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menaces and frowns; whose reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God is most unfaltering.

In whatever direction you turn, you will see God coming to meet you; nothing is void of him, he himself fills all his work.
