Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong

True art is reverent imitation of God.

Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.

He that resolves upon any great and good end, has, by that very resolution, scaled the chief barrier to it. He will find such resolution removing difficulties, searching out or making means, giving courage for despondency, and strength for weakness, and like the star to the wise men of old, ever guiding him nearer and nearer to perfection.
