“Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good.”

“The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.”

“Can you imagine how terrible it is when you've got everything and you're still desperately lonely? That is awful beyond words.”

“He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.”

“The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.”

“There is nothing that making men rich and strong but that which they carry inside of them. True wealth is of the heart, not of the hand.”

“Every cloud has a silver lining.”
