When the heart is right, "for" and "against" are forgotten.

Great knowledge is universal. Small knowledge is limited. Great words are inspiring; small words are chatter.

Those who realise their folly are not true fools.

Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.
