I am my own heaven and hell!
Fear of death is worse than dying.
Emulation is a noble and just passion full of appreciation.
Opposition inflames the enthusiast never converts him.
An axe at home saves hiring a carpenter.
What the reason of the ant laboriously drags into a heap the wind of accident will collect in one breath.
The man who fears nothing is as powerful as he who is feared by everybody.
I follow my heart for I can trust it.
He who reflects too much will achieve little.
Have hope. Though clouds environs now And gladness hides her face in scorn Put thou the shadow from thy brow - No night but hath its morn.
Everyone will be taxed according to his means.
Why should I deem myself to be a chisel when I could be the artist?
Disappointments are to the soul what the thunder-storm is to the air.
Our safety is not in blindness but in facing our danger.
Every man stamps his value on himself ... man is made great or small by his own will.
Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.
Happy is he who learns to bear what he cannot change!
There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.
Let us live today.
The world's history is constant like the laws of nature and simple like the souls of men.
