He that is overcautious will accomplish little.
God helps the brave.
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.
The finer impulse of our nature.
The world's history is constant like the laws of nature and simple like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.
His saying was: live and let live.
I am better than my reputation.
Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain.
Art is difficult transient is her reward.
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
With stupidity the gods themselves struggle in vain.
The lamp of genius burns quicker than the lamp of life.
Disappointments are to the soul what a thunder-storm is to the air.
Honor women! they entwine and weave heavenly roses in our earthly life.
