“Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.”

If you want to be a real seeker of truth, you need to, at least once in your lifetime, doubt in, as much as it’s possible, in everything.

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.

Don’t try to add more years to your life. Better add more life to your years.

And is it not obvious that, just as it is a crime to disturb the peace when truth reigns, it is also a crime to remain at peace when the truth is being destroyed?

Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.

All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.

If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?

There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.

The more I see of Mankind, the more I prefer my dog.

What a vast difference there is between knowing God and loving Him.

If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.

We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything.

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

Great and small suffer the same mishaps.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

How small of all that human hearts endure, That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.

Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve.

Look on the grave where thou must sleep Thy last, and strongest foe; It is endurance not to weep, If that repose seem woe.

Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.

Our two souls therefore which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat.

Every man ought to be in love a few times in his life, and to have a smart attack of the fever. You are better for it when it is over: the better for your misfortune, if you endure it with a manly heart; how much the better for success, if you win it and a good wife into the bargain!

One cannot scold or complain at every word. Learn to endure patiently, or else, as I live and breathe, you shall learn it whether you want or not.

Yes, as my swift days near their goal, ’tis all that I implore: In life and death a chainless soul, with courage to endure.
