That which can be lost cannot be deemed riches.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

All objects transmit their image to the eye in pyramids and the nearer to the eye these pyramids are intersected the smaller will the image appear of the objects which cause them.

You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.

Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it.

I love those who can smile in trouble.

Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
