Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual

The faith that stands on authority is not faith

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting

All mankind love a lover

Thou art to me a delicious torment

The only true gift is a portion of yourself

We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count

Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring
