Are you afraid of the good you might do?

Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.

The man is placed where the Earth ends, the woman, where the heaven starts.

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.

The owl goes not into the nest of the lark.

When the heart is dry the eye is dry.
