Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.

Great suffering brings with it the power of great endurance. When sorrow is deepest all the forces of patience and courage are banded together to do their duty. So while we are cowards before petty troubles, great sorrows make us brave by rousing our truer manhood.

Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live.

My fancies are fireflies, specks of living light twinkling in the dark.
