Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another’s heart, or its flame burns low.
Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.
Faith is spiritualized imagination.
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road.
The world’s battlefields have been in the heart chiefly more heroism has been displayed in the household and the closet, than on the most memorable battlefields in history.
