The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.

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.

Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle.

Every action of your life touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.

Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite.
