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.

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.

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

For the criminal who is weak and poor the narrow cell of death awaits; but honor and glory await the rich who conceal their crimes behind their gold and silver and inherited glory.

The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called love

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

Love is not without its flaws. The stronger the love, the more it tests you. Compassion and empathy will make true love persist.
