At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.
|
Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.
|
Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.

Neutral men are the devil's allies.
|
Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it forgoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury.
|
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
|
Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite.
|
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
|
The essence of justice is mercy.
|
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
