Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don’t understand; no wonder they come to grief.
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.
Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy.
Correction does much, but encouragement does more.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
