By all means use sometimes to be alone.
Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear.
Dare to look in thy chest—for ’tis thine own,—
And tumble up and down what thou findest there.
Who cannot rest till he good fellows finde,
He breaks up house, turns out of doors his minde.
—George Herbert.
Personal happiness is almost synonymous with personal interests; the wider the range of the latter, the higher is the degree of happiness.
—Lilian Whiting.
Thoughts of courage, and hope, and highest expectation growing habitual, may lift out and up many a weary pilgrim.
