We cannot change anything 

until we accept it. 

Condemnation does not liberate, 

it oppresses.

The moment we want to believe something, 

we suddenly see all the arguments for it, 

and become blind to the arguments against it.

It is much easier to show compassion to animals. 

They are never wicked.

My own curiosity and interest are insatiable.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

Could we teach taste or genius by rules, 

they would be no longer taste and genius.

The books that help you most 

are those which make you think the most.

Men have become the tools of their tools.

Patience and time do more than strength or passion.

As long as I live I will have control over my being.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

Not everyone can see the truth, 

but he can be it.

If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.

When you give yourself, 

you receive more than you give.
