“I live for those who love me, for those who know me true; for the heaven that smiles above me and awaits my spirit too. For the cause that lacks assistance, for the wrong that needs resistance, for the future in the distance, and the good that I can do.”

“I knew a man once who told me that I smiled at the wrong things.""Do you?"Only by the light of those who smile at nothing.”

“But I feel this, Helen: I must dislike those who, whatever I do to please them, persist in disliking me; I must resist those who punish me unjustly. It is as natural as that I should love those who show me affection, or submit to punishment when I feel it is deserved.”

“Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it.Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice.Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage.Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do.Let me do right to all, and wrong no man.”

“Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they areThose who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken wordsThose who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with youThose who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart”

“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.”
