• “If a professor thinks what matters most / Is to have gained an academic post / Where he can earn a livelihood, and then / Neglect research, let controversy rest, / He’s but a petty tradesman at the best, / Selling retail the work of other men.”

• “A thought is as vivid as an act, to a lover.”

• “Grief must be shared to be endured.”

• “Trees laden with fruit bend low to the earth; clouds laden with water hang low. So do good people when they become rich; they bend low to make themselves accessible and shower prosperity on others.”
