“There is no object that we see, no action that we do, no good that we enjoy, no evil that we feel of fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all”

“Not enjoyment, and not sorrow is our destined way, but to act that each tomorrow may find us further than today”

“Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion”

“It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.”

“People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.”

“One hearty laugh together will bring enemies into a closer communion of heart than hours spent on both sides in inward wrestling with the mental demon of uncharitable feeling.”
