A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.

Strange that creatures without backbones have the hardest shells.

If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches.

You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.

If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.

When you are sorrowful, look again.
