Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful; and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.
No amount of ability is of the slightest avail without honor.
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Every man is my superior in that I may learn from him.
My books are friends that never fail me.
Faith is loyalty to some inspired teacher, some spiritual hero.
