Those who own much have much to fear.

Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.

The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth

The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.

For man is by nature an artist.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.
