Every misfortune is to be subdued by patience.

Shame hates to have words wrapped around it. If we talk about it, it loses its grip on us.

Perhaps a man's character was like a tree, and his reputation like its shadow; the shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

To learn about oneself, a living thing, you have to watch, learn anew each minute.

Do all things with love.

Every person is worthy of an infinite wealth of love — the beauty of his soul knows no limit.
