“The Wizard, being a wise man, knows there is no such thing as a "heart," a "brain," or "courage" that could be bestowed and have an impact on the receiver. These are concept only- not tangible things.”

“If the infinite had not desired man to be wise, he would not have bestowed upon him the faculty of knowing.”

“The wise have pitied the fool that hath striven to give a life In the world of time and space among the bulks of actual things,To dream that was dreamed in the heart, and that only the heart could hold.Oh wise men, riddle me this: What if the dream come true?”

“If you only have brains on your head you would be as good a man as any of them, and a better man than some of them. Brains are the only things worth having in this world, no matter whether one is a crow or a man.”

“The only thing greater than the power of the mind is the courage of the heart”

“The ugliest thing in the world is a beautiful woman without the brains or courage to know that [beauty] is nothing more than an accident.”
