There are many religions, but there is only one morality.

Mountains are to the rest of the body of the earth, what violent muscular action is to the body of man. The muscles and tendons of its anatomy are, in the mountain, brought out with force and convulsive energy, full of expression, passion, and strength.

Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a pretty small package.

Doing is the great thing. For if, resolutely, people do what is right, in time they will come to like doing it.
