Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds.

I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
