“This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”

“The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul” 


“Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire.”

“It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.”
