Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.

Only once have I been made mute. It was when a man asked me, 'Who are you?'

The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.

My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The "I" in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.

Rob a neighbour with a smile.

Yesterday is ever jealous of...tomorrow.

Miserable is the man who loves a woman and takes her for his wife, pouring at her feet the sweat of his skin and the blood of his body and the life of his heart, and placing her in the hands of the fruit of his toil and the revenue of his diligence; for when he slowly wakes up, he finds that the heart that he endeavored to buy is given away freely and in sincerity to another man for the enjoyment of its hidden secrets and deepest love.
