|  To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization. | | Most mothers are instinctive philosophers. | | No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man. | | I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation. | | In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike. | | Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do. |
