True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old

Love in its essence is spiritual fire

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict
