My fancies are fireflies Specks of living light twinkling in the dark.

Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.

He only has freedom who ideally loves freedom himself and is glad to extend it to others. He who cares to have slaves must chain himself to them. He who builds walls to create exclusion for others builds walls across his own freedom. He who distrusts freedom in others loses his moral right to it.

Faith is a bird that can see the light when it is dawn and starts singing in the dark.

Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down

Those who in this world have the courage to try and solve in their own lives new problems of life, are the ones who raise society to greatness.

I have on my table a violin string. It is free to move in any direction I like. If I twist one end, it responds; it is free. But it is not free to sing. So I take it and fix it into my violin. I bind it and when it is bound, it is free for the first time to sing.
