A beast does not know that he is a beast, and the nearer a man gets to being a beast, the less he knows it.
From George MacDonald
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.
Attitudes are more important than facts.
Love is the opener as well as closer of eyes.
It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.
It matters little where a man may be at this moment; the point is whether he is growing.
