"The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter -- often an unconscious, but still a truthful interpreter -- in the eye."

Better to be without logic than without feeling.

I am always easy of belief when the creed pleases me.

"Fortune is proverbially called changeful, yet her caprice often takes the form of repeating again and again a similar stroke of luck in the same quarter."

"Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us."
