He that is overcautious will accomplish little.
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
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.
God helps the brave.
Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain.
The finer impulse of our nature.
Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.
Art is difficult transient is her reward.
I am better than my reputation.
His saying was: live and let live.
With stupidity the gods themselves struggle in vain.
O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles.
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.
