Life is a festival only to the wise.
Nature always wears colours of the spirit.
The faith that stands on authority is not faith.
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
Beauty without expression is boring.
Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
