 A true man never frets about his place in the world, but just slides into it by the gravitation of his nature, and swings there as easily as a star. |
| An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven. |
| At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion. |
| Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth |
| Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool. |
| Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity |
| Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be. |
| Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair |
| Neutral men are the devil's allies. |
| Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury |
| No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions. |
| Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite. |
| Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So it is with people who sometimes cover up the entire disc of eternity with a dollar, and so quench transcendent glories with a little shining dust. |
| Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy |
| Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle |
