The only way to have a friend is to be one.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.
