A student never forgets an encouraging private word, when it is given with sincere respect and admiration. A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands. God speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the Son of Man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing. If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care, then the happiest individual would not be either a man or a woman; it would be, I think, an American cow.

The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older. The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.
