The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.

Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.

Man is primarily governed by passion and instinct.

Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.

Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.
