“The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese”

“Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up”

“It is a sad thing when men have neither the wit to speak well nor the judgment to hold their tongues”

“To be among people one loves, that's sufficient; to dream, to speak to them, to be silent among them, to think of indifferent things; but among them, everything is equal”

“It is a great misfortune not to possess sufficient wit to speak well, nor sufficient judgment to keep silent”

“It is no little wisdom for you to keep yourself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to you, and to turn your heart to God and not to be troubled with the judgment of others”
