Eureka! [I’ve got it!]

Les souvenirs sont cors de chasse

And so they could see she was a real princess, because she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty eiderdowns.

‘But the Emperor has nothing on at all!’ cried a little child.

If you can’t annoy somebody with what you write, I think there’s little point in writing.

They write about it.

Countless chuckles of the waves of the sea.

Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below.

The fool does not ask; he who asks is no fool.

When we walk together with three people, (at least) one of them will have something to teach us.

Never tire of studying, and never tire of teaching others.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.

Whenever you have truth, it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

Truth stands, even if there is no public support; it is self-sustained.

Truth quenches untruth, love quenches anger, self-suffering quenches violence. This eternal rule is a rule not for saints only, but for all.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

Truth and non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

True beauty lies in purity of the heart.

The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still voice of conscience.

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.
