The true vagrant is the only king above all comparison.

The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.

If the advice of a fool for once happens to be good, it requires a wise man to carry it out.

The gift of prayer is not always at our command.

Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever.

A man who does not lose his reason over certain things has none to lose.
