The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.

I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.

Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.

The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.

The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.

Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
