You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care, nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.

Your house is your larger body.

He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.

Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb?

They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.

Love is not without its flaws. The stronger the love, the more it tests you. Compassion and empathy will make true love persist.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
