None are more hopelessly enslaved 

than those who falsely believe they are free.

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness 

and just be happy.

Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best.

It is the childlike mind that finds the kingdom.

Toil without song 

is like 

a weary journey 

without an end.

He who would search for pearls 

must dive below.

If you're losing your soul and you know it, 

then you've still got a soul left to lose.

It is easy to ignore responsibility 

when one is only an intermediate link in a chain of action.

The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; 

time may heal the anguish of the wound, 

but the loss cannot be repaired.

They say eyes clear with age.

Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best ends by the best means.

In the long years 

liker they must grow; 

The man be more of woman, 

she of man.

Man has no right to kill his brother. 

It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: 

he only adds the infamy of servitude 

to the crime of murder.

Life is a wave, 

which in no two consecutive moments of its existence 

is composed of the same particles.

To know one thing, 

you must know the opposite.
