I have good hope that there is something remaining for the dead.

I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my soul altogether.

Slanderers do not hurt me because they do not hit me.

Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions, but those who kindly reprove thy faults.

The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.

If the whole world depends on today's youth, I can't see the world lasting another 100 years.

Give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward may be one.
