“In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.”

“Her silence was worth more to her than a thousand words. In that silence, she had peace and clarity. Except during the night, when her own jumbled thoughts would keep her awake.”

“My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”

“Be kind to each other in your homes. Be kind to those who surround you. I prefer that you make mistakes in kindness rather than that you work miracles in unkindness. Often just for one word, one look, one quick action, and darkness fills the heart of the one we love.”

“Few are those who wish to be endowed with virtue rather than to seem so.”
Virtute enim ipsa non tam multi praediti esse quam videri volunt.

“Often he was a joy, and you know, he was one of the few people I ever learned anything from.”

“I have only one friend, and that is echo. Why is it my friend? Because I love my sorrow, and echo does not take it away from me. I have only one confidant, and that is the silence of night. Why is it my confidant? Because it remains silent.”

“For thousands of nights I dreamed of making love to you. No man on earth has ever hated sunrise as I do.”

“The average man looks up at night And sees thousands and thousands, of twinkling stars, Each different from the others. But a man of wisdom and achievement, Perceives the one light, Behind the dark dome of the night-sky, Whose incandescence peeps at us, Through all the holes in the night-dome!!”

“I just love the feeling from the fans and when I'm walking on deck I can hear people screaming and wishing you the best. That puts you into the game more than anything.”
