Poetry is the mysticism of mankind.

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.

Do not read the newspapers.

If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal - that is your success.

A traveler who looks at things with an impartial eye may see what the oldest inhabitant has not observed.

Direct your eye inward, and you'll find / A thousand regions in your mind / Yet undiscovered. Travel them, and be / Expert in home-cosmography

Truly, our greatest blessings are very cheap.
