For too many of us ease is far more soul-destroying than trouble.
a few hours with Beethoven are more restful than sleep.
Not only is orderliness an economy; it produces rest.
for the poor the whole world is a self-constituted critic; your smallest action is open to debate. No secret place of your soul is safe from invasion.
When one is working out a problem ... life becomes duality.

In all the wide gamut of human experience, nothing plays so important a part as faith.... Faith that is as broad as the heavens and as wide as the earth. Faith that comprehends in its vast sympathies everything human as well as divine, and carries one with the swift sure wings of the angels directly to his goal.

One has true friends when one is poor and no riches can be greater than that. They are not so obvious when one is rich.
