Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.
From Henri Frederic Amiel
Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
There is no respect for others without humility in one's self.
True humility is contentment.
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers.
Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing.
Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false.
Sympathy is the first condition of criticism.
Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy.
