***************
A man is rich in
proportion to the number
of things he regrets
***************
It is unwise to
keep one’s feet on a level
with eternity
***************
A government that
imprisons unjustly is
every government
***************
I stand in awe of
the sparrow, who builds temples
in the air of time
***************
The remedy for
love is wisdom, for which there
is no remedy
***************
Give me the water
of infinite truth. And if
you can’t, I’ll drink faith
***************
Public opinion
is the cheapest pleasure found
in a vacuum
***************
Take my pity and
give me money—I am the
sage of poverty
***************
The mass of men lead
anxious lives, lost in the hard
fruit of the moment
***************
You get more nurture
from a trout than you do from
this society
***************
Go confidently
in the direction of your
fate! And take a dog
***************
Beware of all things
whose success requires God, guns
and morality
***************
