Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

With his own money a person can live as he likes-a ruble that's your own is dearer than a brother.

Jail doesn't teach anyone to do good, nor Siberia, but a man-yes! A man can teach another man to do good-believe me!

An honest man is all right even if he's an idiot...but a crook must have brains.
