How can you give a man a room in a house and not let him come through the front door?
Sometimes you think the whole world is falling, and it's only yourself that's leaning.
Fate carries its own clock.
Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.
We look into mirrors but we only see the effects of our times on us - not our effects on others.
There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
There is a way to look at the past. Don't hide from it. It will not catch you if you don't repeat it.

You never find yourself until you face the truth.
To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil.
The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.
When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.
