A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Great hopes make great men.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.
