There are often beams in our eye that we know not of. Let us therefore ask that our eye may become single, for then we ourselves shall become wholly single.

If only we try to live righteously, we shall fare well, even though we are bound to encounter genuine sadness and real disappointments and shall probably commit real mistakes and do things that are wrong, but it is certainly better to be ardent in spirit, even though one makes more mistakes, than narrow-minded and overly-cautious.

Lord, keep my thoughts green! That is something one should say over and over again.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

I'm getting on well here, I've got a lovely home & I'm finding it very pleasurable taking a look at London & the English way of life & the English people themselves, & then I've got nature & art & poetry, & if that isn't enough, what is?

Admire as much as you can; most people do not admire enough.

It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.

It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.

The mind is the most capricious of insects — flitting, fluttering.

Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.

Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner.

Keep up the fires of thought, and all will go well.
