Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.

We shall never understand one another until we reduce the language to seven words.

It was in my heart to help a little because I was helped much.
