The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.

Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.

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

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

And when you were a silent word upon Life's quivering lips, I too was there, another silent word. Then life uttered us and we came down the years throbbing with memories of yesterday and with longing for tomorrow, for yesterday was death conquered and tomorrow was birth pursued.

You cannot judge any man beyond your knowledge of him, and how small is your knowledge.

The first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.
