“The poor looking shepherd of the dessert is in substance very rich with all the magical treasures of the desert.”

“Cheerful poor is rich with a smile, sulky rich is poor with a bullion of gold.”

“Oh my son, so poor in doing the right things, so rich in doing the wrong things! What great poverty it is to be so rich!”

“Deserts look beautiful and green fields look beautiful too. Nature is genius because it knows how to look beautiful in every way.”

“Herd! Your first duty is to get rid of your shepherd!”

“Morning in the city is not a real morning; morning of the shepherd, that is the real morning!”

“Just like the dead and deserted Moon, all things appear to be beautiful from far distance!”
