What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.

We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.
The best of life is conversation, and the greatest success is confidence, or perfect understanding between two people.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed. When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we know.
