«Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.»
«I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limit of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced.»
«I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone, I never found the companionable as solitude.»
«Associate reverently, as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.»
«Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.»
«The Brahmins say that in their books there are many predictions of times in which it will rain. But press those books as strongly as you can, you can not get out of them a drop of water. So you can not get out of all the books that contain the best precepts the smallest good deed.»
«A name pronounced is the recognition of the individual to whom it belongs. He who can pronounce my name aright, he can call me, and is entitled to my love and service.»
«As to conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I have not a very high opinion of that course.»
«Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.»
«I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.»
