"Our generosity never should exceed our abilities...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“But the Night Mother is mother to all! It is her voice we follow! Her will! Would you dare risk disobedience? And surely... punishment?”

“To live long, live slowly.”

“In the master there is a servant, in the servant a master.”

“There is little favorable to be said about poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship. Many people will appear to befriend you when you are wealthy, but precious few will do the same when you are poor. If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent. Yet, poverty often brings out the true generosity in others.”

“Happiness is not a limited resource. So help yourself, and there will be plenty left for everyone else.”

“Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need.”

“The laws of nature may be operative up to a certain limit, beyond which they turn against themselves to give birth to the absurd.”

“The vistas of possibility are only limited by the shortness of life.”

“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. This is an error of the intellect as inevitable as that error of the eye which lets you fancy that on the horizon heaven and earth meet.”
