I am large, I contain multitudes

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.

In the faces of men and women, I see God.

The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.
