Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.

To mention a loved object, a person, or a place to someone else is to invest that object with reality.

Only with winter-patience can we bring / The deep-desired, long-awaited spring.

No new sect ever had humor; no disciples either, even the disciples of Christ.

There is no harvest for the heart alone; / The seed of love must be / Eternally / Resown.

If one talks to more than four people, it is an audience; and one cannot really think or exchange thoughts with an audience.

America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.

The collector walks with blinders on; he sees nothing but the prize. In fact, the acquisitive instinct is incompatible with true appreciation of beauty.

The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity.

To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.
