» An exaggeration is a truth that has lost its temper.
» Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
» If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
» You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
