And what word is knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?

Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.

I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

The envier praises me unknowingly.

Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.

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

The highest virtue here may be least in another world.
