“One thought fills immensity”

“The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed”

“The burning of rebellious thoughts in the little breast, of internal hatred and opposition, could not long go on without slight whiffs of external smoke, such as mark the course of subterranean fire”

“The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration”

“Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man”

“Sweet souls around us watch us still, press nearer to our side; into our thoughts, into our prayers, with gentle helpings glide.”
