En privat åsikt är svag, men den allmänna opinionen är nästan allsmäktig.

Opinion

En privat mening er svag ,men en offentlig er næsten almægtig

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Humanity

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.

If it were admitted that the great object is to read and enjoy a language, and the stress of the teaching were placed on the few things absolutely essential to this result, all might in their own way arrive there, and rejoice in its flowers.

Kommunikasjon

Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.

Mothers

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

Ord

What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.
