The idle mind knows not what it wants.

Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.

No one regards what is before his feet; we all gaze at the stars.

He who civilly shows the way to one who has missed it, is as one who has lighted another's lamp from his own lamp; it none the less gives light to himself when it burns for the other.

He hath freedom whoso beareth a clean and constant heart within.

He who has two languages has two souls.

Whom men fear they hate, and whom they hate, they wish dead.

The best thing you can give a person is the courage and the desire to go beyond his culture, that little limited world of his!

There are subtle truths buried in every make-believe. You never know where you might find one.

Errors, failures, They are just experiences that will obligate you to evolve.

Life is its own occasion

I may be crazy but I'd never smash someone's ankles in because I loved them so much. Compassion runs deep in my blood.

I believe that the entire effort of modern society should be concentrated on the endeavor to outlaw war as a method of the solution of problems between nations.

America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.

Some cities are really boring and straight.

False hope is the bread - and - butter of my existence, the only thing that keeps me going.
