Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

Variety is the condition of harmony.

Hardened round us, encasing wholly every notion we form is a wrapping of traditions, hearsay's, and mere words.

The latest gospel in this world is, know thy work and do it.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule.

An everlasting lodestar, that beams the brighter in the heavens the darker here on earth grows the night.
