There is within me a friend who consoles me every time that troubles overwhelm me and misfortunes afflict me.

For life streams out of man's inner self and in no way from what surrounds him.

Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.

A sense of humour is a sense of proportion.
