The best things in life are unseen, thats why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream

To keep on trying in spite of disappointment and failure is the only way to keep young and brave. Failures become victories if they make us wise-hearted.

To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.

The civilization of a state should be measured by the amount of suffering it prevents and the degree of happiness it makes possible for its citizens.

I think the degree of a nation's civilisation may be measured by the degree of enlightenment of its women.

We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.

Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
