Don’t try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

My turn shall also come: I sense the spreading of a wing.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

It’s the artists who do the dreaming for society.

All experience is great providing you live through it.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The only lasting truth is change.
