I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind.

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.

If you come at four in the afternoon, I’ll begin to be happy by three.

It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.

The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

Each man carries within him the soul of a poet who died young.

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.

A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.

A skillful sailor was never made from still water.

I woke up with the warrior in my blood.
