Only a prisoner who has been confined for long behind high walk can appreciate the extraordinary psychological value of these outside walks and open views.

Let us be a little humble; let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.

Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.

In order to understand people, we have to understand their way of life and approach. If we wish to convince them, we have to use their language in the narrow sense of the mind. Something that goes even much further than that is not the appeal to logic and reason, but some kind of emotional awareness of the other people.

Time is not measured by the years that pass by, instead by the things you do, feel or accomplish.

I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.

The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous.
