I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends will call it.

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander.

Faith in yourself matters.

Friends accept you the way you are.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

For friendship, like freedom, must be tended.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
