Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.
Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. All is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.
We must be our own before we can be another's.
