A man is a little thing while he works by and for himself; but when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, he is godlike

No man can help another without helping himself.

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage

The greatest difficulty is that men do not think enough of themselves, do not consider what it is that they are sacrificing when they follow in a herd, or when they cater for their establishment

The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself
