In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.

As the grace of man is in the mind, so the beauty of the mind is eloquence.

I'm not a pacifist. I'm not that brave.

The demands of following Christ will cost you everything. But you gain far more than you give up. You give up dirt for diamonds.

It is an amiable part of human nature, that we should love our animals; it is even better to love them to the point of folly, than not to love them at all.
