My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.

All that produces longing in the heart deprives the heart of freedom.

The heart becomes wide by forgetting self, but narrow by thinking of the self and pitying one's self. To gain a wide and broad heart you must have something before you to look upon, and to rest your intelligence upon - and that something is the God-ideal.

As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open.

The only way to live in the midst of inharmonious influences is to strengthen the will power and endure all things, yet keeping fineness of character and nobility of manner together with an everlasting heart full of love.
