The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.
Wise men when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet give themselves the benefit of the doubt and remain silent.
The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains at the huge waves of the sea at the long courses of the rivers at the vast compass of the ocean at the circular motions of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others and the delight in the recognition.
