Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times.

These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."

This is the true sense of the maxim--Live and let live. That, however, is a task which is difficult in proportion as it is right; and he is a happy man who can once for all avoid having to do with a great many of his fellow creatures."

"If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him."
