Faith is the highest passion in a man.

Take a book, the poorest one written, but read it with the passion that it is the only book you will read. Ultimately, you will read everything out of it, that is, as much as there was in yourself, and you could never get more out of reading, even if you read the best of books.

I would rather be a swineherd, understood by the swine, than a poet misunderstood by men.

It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it.

Confidence is the present tense of hope.

Nothing is as heady as the wine of possibility

Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.
