There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love

In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was wholly lost

Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness

To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant

For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense

The most happy marriage I can imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.
