Better beggar woman and single than Queen and married.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance.

A man is literally what he thinks.

Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.

Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.

One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

If you meditate, sooner or later you will come upon love. If you meditate deeply, sooner or later you will start feeling a tremendous love arising in you that you have never known before.

I have no desire to make windows into mens souls

None but ourselves can free our minds.
