“「Above all trust in the slow work of God.」”

“「The day will come when, after harnessing the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness the energies of love.」”

“「Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.」”

“「Unquiet meals make ill digestions; therefore the happiness of a man's life is to be measured not by the great feasts, but by the frequency of his simple, pleasant repasts.」”
