You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.

To belittle, you have to be little.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.

Reason without learning is like the untilled soil, or like the human body that lacks nourishment.

Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

A sense of humour is a sense of proportion.
