Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.

The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.
