“Forgiveness is the finding again of a lost possession.”

A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.

Joy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Nature’s calm rotation. Joy moves the dazzling wheels that roll In the great Time-piece of Creation.

The world’s history is the world’s judgment.

It is play and only play that makes man complete.

I am better than my reputation.

One can give advice comfortably from a safe port.

Live with your century; but do not be its creature.

Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

A healthy nature needs no God or immortality.

Only through Beauty’s morning-gate, dost thou penetrate the land of knowledge.

Time is a blooming field: nature is ever teeming with life: and all is seed, and all is fruit.

The May of life blooms once and never again.

In the ardor of pursuit men soon forget the goal from which they start.

In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.

Appearance rules the world.

To know thyself- in others self-concern; Would’st thou know others? read thyself–and learn!

Give a man free hands, and you’ll know where to find them.

You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down.

If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.

Life is found in the dance between your deepest desire and your greatest fear.

Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.

When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

I never view mistakes as failures. They are simply opportunities to find out what doesn’t work.
