I may be as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.

I have said that the soul is not more than the body,
And I have said that the body is not more than the soul,
And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is,

In the faces of men and women I see God

I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least,
Nor do I understand who there can be more wonderful than myself.

Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won
