Never self-possessed, or prudent, love is all abandonment.

Every experiment, by multitudes or by individuals, that has a sensual and selfish aim, will fail.

Those who live to the future must always appear selfish to those who live to the present

It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.

Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow

Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.
