My dear friend, to be both powerful and fair has always been difficult for mankind. Power and justice have always been seen like day and night; this being the case, when one of them is there the other disappears.

We can't live life perfectly fully, because we sleep eight hours a day! We can live life only partly fully!

Happiness in nature is a double happiness; sorrow in nature is a half sorrow!

Man needs air, man needs water, man needs food and man needs adventure also! Adventure is a medicine for the infinite boredom.

The goodnesses you do will beautifully cover you like the beautiful flowers covering a country house!

If a frog becomes a king, he will make the whole kingdom muddy!

In peace, continue your art; in war, continue your art; in freedom, continue your art; in captivity, continue your art!
