“It is by teaching that we teach ourselves.”

“To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.”

“Charm is the quality in others that makes us more satisfied with ourselves.”

“In these moments of tête-à-tête with the infinite, how different life looks! How all that usually occupies and excites us becomes suddenly puerile, frivolous, and vain. We seem to ourselves mere puppets, marionettes, strutting seriously through a fantastic show, and mistaking gewgaws for things of great price.”

“What we do not understand we have no right to judge”

“When we are doing nothing in particula, it is then that we are living through all our being.”

“all appears to change when we change”
