When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

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

Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'

Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.

Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
