“No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.”
“The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it”
“Faith is the only way we're going to make it. None of us are smart enough to do it on our own.”
“We can't look to the world to restore our worth; we're here to restore our worth to the world. The world outside us can reflect our glory, but it cannot create it. It cannot crown us. Only God can crown us, and he already has.”
“I wonder if our names determine our destiny, or if destiny leads us to choose certain names.”
“Any pride or haughtiness, is displeasing to us, merely because it shocks our own pride, and leads us by sympathy into comparison, which causes the disagreeable passion of humility.”
