The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man

All persons are puzzles until at last we find in some word or act the key to the man, to the woman; straightway all their past words and actions lie in light before us

The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself

A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye . . .

The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.
