If you love the roses, that is ordinary; if you love the weeds, that is extraordinary! Rather than being common, be extraordinary!

A free horse where there is no man on its saddle always looks more beautiful than a slave horse with a man on its saddle!

For serenity, always prefer the cottage to the palace!

Pigs are dirty, but I will tell you something dirtier: Liars! Untruth always smells like rotten garbage!

Try to exist even under hardest conditions! That is the effort which deserves the applauses most!

The real beauty created by man never competes with the beauty of nature; but it only perfectly completes it!

My friends, I like them; my morals, I like them more!
