You shall be held down by the chains of your own judgment.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

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.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

Love is a gracious host to his guests though to the unbidden his house is a mirage and a mockery.

You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.

I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
