“People think of us infinitely less than we believe. To be honest, they almost never do”
“We never get accustomed to being less important to other people than they are to us.”
“You've only got to begin to do anything to find out how few honest, honourable people there are. Sometimes, when I can't sleep, I think: "Oh Lord, you've given us huge forests, infinite fields, and endless horizons, and we, living here, ought really to be giants.”
“Some acts of faith, I believe, have the power to grant us something infinitely wiser than we imagine”
“Our ancestors derived less from life than we do, but they also expected much less and were less intent on controlling the future. We are of the arrogant generations who believe a lasting happiness was promised to us at birth. Promised? By whom?”
“We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.”
