Discipline is the highest of all virtues. Only so may strength and desire be counterbalanced and the endeavors of man bear fruit.

Be sure to live up to your reputation for honesty and goodness, because many souls who believe you to be honest and good have placed themselves in your hands.

Good Lord, how can the rich bear to die?

The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet.

The truth is that we all are one, that all of us together create god, that god is not man's ancestor, but his descendant.

I am a weak, ephemeral creature made of mud and dream. But I feel all the powers of the universe whirling within me.

How simple and frugal a thing is happiness.
