Augustine of Hippo

Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear the strength so strong mere force is feebleness the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

E. E. Cummings

If men possessed wisdom, which stands in the same relation to the form of man as the sight to the eye, they would not cause any injury to themselves or to others; for the knowledge of truth removes hatred and quarrels, and prevents mutual injuries.
