Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.
Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe--the open sesame to every soul.
Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility.
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
With age come the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals
Truth is the only safe ground to stand on.
It would be ridiculous to talk of male and female atmospheres, male and female springs or rains, male and female sunshine....How much more ridiculous is it in relation to mind, to soul, to thought, where there is as undeniably no such thing as sex...
Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.
