Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens

I mistrust the judgement of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.

Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.

A man is literally what he thinks.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Never put off for tomorrow, what you can do today.

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

Intelligence is a moral category.

If you buy what you do not need, you will need what you cannot buy.

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

Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.

The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.

And this sensitivity will create new friendships for you - friendships with trees, with birds, with animals, with mountains, with rivers, with oceans, with stars. Life becomes richer as love grows.

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

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

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.
