“Love should not make us blind to faults, nor familiarity make us too ready to blame the shortcomings we see.”

“Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.”

“Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.”

“One of the sweet things about pain and sorrow is that they show us how well we are loved, how much kindness there is in the world, and how easily we can make others happy in the same way when they need help and sympathy.”

“If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now.”

“We can't any of us do all we would like, but we can do our best for every case that comes to us, and that helps amazingly.”

“Go and make yourself useful, since you are too big to be ornamental.”
