The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all.

Pretend what we may, the whole man within us is at work when we form our philosophical opinions.

We and God have business with each other, and in opening ourselves to God's influence our deepest destiny is fulfilled.

Men are now proud of belonging to a conquering nation, and without a murmur they lay down their persons and their wealth, if by so doing they may fend off subjection.

In the deepest heart of all of us there is a corner in which the ultimate mystery of things works sadly.

The good or bad is not in the circumstance, but only in the mind...that encounters it.
