“Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today. Let us treat men and women well; treat them as if they were real; perhaps they are.”

“Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.”

“Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits.”

“Let us even bid our dearest friends farewell, and defy them, saying, "Who are you? Unhand me: I will be dependent no more." Ah! seest thou not, O brother, that thus we part only to meet again on a higher platform, and only be more each other's, because we are more our own?”

“Let us advance on Chaos and the Dark”

“Let us be silent, that we may hear the whisper of God.”

“I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.”
