If We Have No Peace It Is Because We Have

“We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.”

“When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.”

“It is that we are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love, never so helplessly unhappy as when we have lost our loved object or its love.”

It is better to conquer our grief than to deceive it

“Don’t grieve when people fail to recognize your ability. Grieve for your lack of ability instead.”

“And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.”
