* Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
*What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
*We may have found a cure for most evils; but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all, the apathy of human beings.
*Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
* The highest result of education is tolerance.
