We must find our duties in what comes to us, not in what might have been.
From George Eliot
Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.
What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?
The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.
Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are.
