Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.
Those who approach life like a child playing a game, moving and pushing pieces, possess the power of kings.
If you do not hope, you will not win that which is not hoped for, since it is unattainable and inaccessible.
Bigotry is the sacred disease, and self-conceit tells lies.
Things keep their secrets.
Of all whose words I have heard, no one attains to this, to know that wisdom is apart from all.
