There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

There is no deeper desire than the desire of being revealed.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

My heart is unlimited in the amount of love, but it is limited in the passion and commitment.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Only love can heal the wounds of the past.
