Joy takes away from us the thoughts of our actions; sorrow it is that awakens the soul.
Mistrust is the sure forerunner of hatred.
It is only the educated who can produce or appreciate high art.
There is no greater fool than the man who thinks himself wise; no one is wiser than he who suspects he is a fool.
The cup of joy is heaviest when empty.
envy and hatred fascinate the eyes and never make them see things as they are.
