The true poet is called to take in the splendor of the world and for that reason will always be inclined to praise rather than tofind fault.

He is happy as well as great who needs neither to obey nor to command in order to be something.

The man who occupies the first place seldom plays the principal part.

Austere perseverance, hash and continuous... rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistible greater with time.

The present moment is a powerful goddess.

And we went our separate ways without having understood each other. As in this world nobody understands the other easily.

Life is but a preparation for what there is to come.
