"How many things are there of which I have gained a knowledge, not by the help of reason, but by experience!"

"That which does not make a man worse, does not make his life worse."

"Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it."

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
