To be awake is to be alive.
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.
Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbors.
This world is but a canvas to our imagination.
Things do not change; we change.
There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted.
There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.
There is no just and serene criticism as yet.
There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.
There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
