We must be our own before we can be another's.
We don’t count a man’s years, until he has nothing else to count.
Life is a festival only to the wise.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.
Beauty without expression is boring.
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.
The earth laughs in flowers.
