Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts—not to hurt others.

Pain is no evil unless it conquers us.

No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.

Pride only helps us to be generous; it never makes us so, any more than vanity makes us witty.

For pain must enter into its glorified life of memory before it can turn into compassion.

دردها، اگر فرد را نشکنند، به او غرور می آموزند.
