There's something advantageous about having people underestimate your intellect, insomuch as a lot of things are revealed to you. They assume you don't know what you're talking about, then all of a sudden, you do. And the next thing you know, you have information you wouldn't normally have.

The conduct of a losing party never appears right: at least it never can possess the only infallible criterion of wisdom to vulgar judgements-success.

Lips may lie, but the heart always tells the truth.

A rainbow is not afraid of showing its true colors because it knows it is beautiful inside out.

The mind speaks, though it does not have lips.The heart moves, though it does not have feet.The soul rises, though it does not have wings.

An ugly candle that lights up a home is better than a beautiful lamp that merely decorates a room.

A spoon does not know whether it enters a rich or poor man's mouth.
