Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.

What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.

The working of revolutions misleads me no more; it is as necessary to our race as its waves to the stream, that it may not be a stagnant marsh. Ever renewed in its forms, the genius of humanity blossoms.

Thus we build on the ice, thus we write on the waves of the sea; the waves roaring pass away, the ice melts, and away goes our palace, like our thoughts.

Brave is the lion tamer, brave is the world subduer, but braver is the one who has subdued himself.

Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.

The roots of the deepest love die in the heart, if not tenderly cherished.
