It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.

I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.

My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.

Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings.

I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.

Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
