But there is a Being and He can forgive everything, all and for all, because He gave His innocent blood for all and everything.

A prince... must learn from the fox and the lion... One must be a fox in order to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten off wolves. Those who act simply as lions are stupid.

The trite objects of human efforts - possessions, outward success, luxury - have always seemed to me contemptible.
