The older we grow, the greater become the ordeals.

The thought of death leaves me in perfect peace, for I have a firm conviction that our spirit is a being of indestructible nature; it works on from eternity to eternity, it is like the sun, which though it seems to set to our mortal eyes, does not really set, but shines on perpetually.

Giving is the business of the rich.

Colors are light's suffering and joy

Patriotism corrupts history.

The flowers of life are but illusions. How many fade away and leave no trace.

We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves.
