The world is nothing but a great desire to live and a great dissatisfaction with living

It is hard to contend against one's heart's desire; for whatever it wishes to have it buys at the cost of soul.

When men dream, each has his own world. When they are awake, they have a common world.

People that love wisdom must be acquainted with very many things indeed.

Stupidity is better kept a secret than displayed

It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
