“If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.”

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.

Our distrust is very expensive.

Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.

Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.

It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen.

Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all.
