"One must choose in life between boredom and suffering."
- Madame de Stael
"Enthusiasm signifies God in us."
"Who understands much forgives much."
"Sow good services sweet remembrances will grow from them."
"To pray together in whatever tongue or ritual is the most tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy that man can contract in this life."
"The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it."
"The past which is so presumptuously brought forward as a precedent for the present was itself founded on some past that went before it."
