Homeland of patience, land of the Russian people.

All the wonders you seek are within yourself. We should seek to discover our own special light. Know how to live within yourself; there in your soul lives a whole world of mysterious and enchanted thoughts; they will be drowned by noise of this world. Be still and listen to their singing and be silent.

A thought, once uttered, is untrue

Like first love, the heart of Russia will not forget you.

Homeland of patience, land of the Russian people.

There is an untroubled harmony in everything, a full consonance in nature; only in our illusory freedom do we feel at variance with it.

I love poetry and my country above all else in the world.
