A sword, a spade, and a thought should never be allowed to rust.
Quietness is the beginning of virtue. To be silent is to be beautiful. Stars do not make a noise.

We get wise by asking questions, and even if these are not answered, we get wise, for a well-packed question carries its answer on its back as a snail carries its shell.
A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.
