You are good when you are fully awake in your speech, Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose. And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.

Everyone has experienced that truth: that love, like a running brook, is disregarded, taken for granted; but when the brook freezes over, then people begin to remember how it was when it ran, and they want it to run again.

Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets

The envier praises me unknowingly.

Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.

Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.

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.
