History is the new poetry.

He that will not work according to his faculty, let him perish according to his necessity: there is no law juster than that.

A man--be the heavens ever praised!--is sufficient for himself.

A poor creature who has said or done nothing worth a serious man taking the trouble of remembering.

The word of Mohammad is a voice direct from nature's own heart - all else is wind in comparison.

Trust not the heart of that man for whom old clothes are not venerable.

A fair day's wages for a fair day's work.
