Human memory works its own wheel, and stops where it will, entirely without reference to the last stop, and with no connection with the next.

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.

Unless a man has pity he is not truly a man. If a man has not wept at the worlds pain he is only half a man, and there will always be pain in the world, knowing this does not mean that a man shall dispair. A good man will seek to take pain out of things. A foolish man will not even notice it, except in himself, and the poor unfortunate evil man will drive pain deeper into things and spread it about wherever he goes.

Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.

Nothing good ever ends.
