Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.

Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.

Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.
