The smart are youngesters in the mind
For their wisdom speak louder

I say there is no darkness but ignorance.

What a child does when not told what to do is the final indicator of what and who that child is.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.

To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.

Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.

Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence.

All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.

An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
