"It is a privilege to live and work for others"

"There is a great crowd of people here"

"I care for nothing else"

"You have been the soul of honour, and the best of men"

"Better to be a little lowly, loved and respected for those humble qualities, than exalted among the millions who care for nothing about you"

"The heart knows what the mind refuses to accept"

"Every human has the power to make another human happy by a simple act of kindness"

"The strong pulse of love and generosity warmed and cheered us"

"The heart knows truths that the mind cannot comprehend"

"There is a music in it which thrills me"

"How can you not wonder that I have borne it all"

"In the shadow of the night, we learn the names of all we love."

"There is not an atom of strength in you, yet you are the strongest man I have known."

"I understand you, and I wish to return your affection."

"There is a passion and power in what you express, that is new to me"

"Compassion is the greatest virtue a human being can possess"
