“A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.”

“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.”

“أمطري لؤلؤاً جبال سرنـديب
وفيضي آبار تكرور تبـرا
أنا إن عشت لست اعدم قوتاً
وإذا مت لست اعدم قبـراً
همتـي همة الملوك ونـفسـي
نفس حر ترى المذلة كفـراً
وإذا ما قنعت بالقـوت عمري
فلماذا أزور زيـداً وعمـراً”
