Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember.

The origin of all mankind was the same; it is only a clear and good conscience that makes a man noble, for that is derived from heaven itself.

No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.

The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?

Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb

I am not born from a single place. My country is the whole world.

The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
