“If you are wise, all men will be your friends and kindred, for you will be useful.”

“Hate destroys the very structure of the personality of the hater.”

“Act is the blossom of thought; and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and biter fruitage of his own husbandry”

“He who breathes deepest lives most.”

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”
