One way of getting an idea of our fellow countrymen's miseries is to go and look at their pleasures
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
Only those who know the supremacy of the intellectual life can understand the grief of one who falls from that serene activity into the absorbing soul-wasting struggle with worldly annoyances.

Our consciousness rarely registers the beginning of a growth within us any more than without us; there have been many circulation of the sap before we detect the smallest sign of the bud.
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are.
Our impartiality is kept for abstract merit and demerit, which none of us ever saw.
Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans -which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambezi.
