I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
I believe in such cartography – to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings.
