The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Your body is the harp of your soul and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

If your knowledge teaches you not to rise above human weakness and misery and lead your fellow man on the right path, you are indeed a man of little worth and will remain such till Judgment Day.

Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
