To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others

No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.

Where does discipline end? Where does cruelty begin? Somewhere between these, thousands of children inhabit a voiceless hell.

"Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread.

However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

However brilliant an action, it should not be esteemed great unless the result of a great motive.
