If silence is good for the wise, how much better is it for the foolish!

The wealthy seldom possess wealth: oftener they are possessed by it.

To go into temptation to find how strong you are, is as wise as to go before a mirror, with closed eyes, to find how you look when asleep.

Though my sight be lost, I do not yet lose my faith: when I can no longer see, I can still believe.

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

Our comforts come from God; our sorrows, from ourselves.

What we know is to what we do not know, as a grain of sand is to the beach.
