You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.

You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor; and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.

They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.

He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
