“Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come.”

“Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.”

“Doubting things go ill often hurts moreThan to be sure they do; for certaintiesEither are past remedies, or, timely knowing,The remedy then born.”

“Words are alive. Cut them and they bleed.”

“Who needs action when you got words?”

“But the words she spoke of Mrs Harris, lambs could not forgive ... nor worms forget.”

“As the least drop of wine tinges the whole goblet, so the least particle of truth colors our whole life.”

“The words of some men are thrown forcibly against you and adhere like burrs.”

“How can one liberate the many? By first liberating his own being. He does this not by elevating himself, but by lowering himself. He lowers himself to that which is simple, modest, true; integrating it into himself, he becomes a master of simplicity, modesty, truth.”
