How surely a knowledge of the world hardens the heart!
In this treacherous world Nothing is the truth nor a lie. Everything depends on the color Of the crystal through which one sees it
The dower of great beauty has always been misfortune, since happiness and beauty do not agree together.
One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.
Even in dreams doing good is not wasted.
Our treasures trifles seem, and all our life is dreaming, and the dreams themselves are dreams.
