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

Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.

Little other than a red tape Talking-machine, and unhappy Bag of Parliamentary Eloquence.

He who has no vision of eternity has no hold on time.

The Great Man's sincerity is of the kind he cannot speak of, is not conscious of: nay, I suppose, he is conscious rather of insincerity; for what man can walk accurately by the law of truth for one day? No, the Great Man does not boast himself sincere, far from that; perhaps does not ask himself if he is so: I would say rather, his sincerity does not depend on himself; he cannot help being sincere!

Does it ever give thee pause that men used to have a soul? Not by hearsay alone, or as a figure of speech, but as a thruth that they knew and acted upon. Verily it was another world then, but yet it is a pity we have lost the tidings of our souls. We shall have to go in search of them again or worse in all ways shall befall us.

Men's hearts ought not to be set against one another, but set with one another and all against evil only.
