It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently. |
If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man. |
The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month. |
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. |
Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid. |
With love one can live even without happiness. |
The soul is healed by being with children. |
