GLIMPSES into the inner regions of a great soul do one good.
GLIMPSES into the inner regions of a great soul do one good.
IF I have faltered more or less in my great task of happiness…
…if aught be worse than failure from over-stress of a life’s prime purpose, it is to sit down content with a little success.
THIS is peace to conquer love of self and lust of life,
THE Past is something, but the Present more; Will It not, too, be past
IF it were – if it might be – if it could be – if it had been. One portion of mankind go through life always regretting, always whining, always imagining.
A CONSIDERATION of petty circumstances is the tomb of great things.
OF nothing can we be more sure than this: that, if we cannot sanctify our present lot, we could sanctify no other.
NEVER should we forget the close connection between character and service, between inward nobleness and outward philanthropy.
LIFE is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood.
