“Strange customs do not thrive in foreign soil.”

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!

The zeal of friends it is that razes me, And not the hate of enemies.

Illusion is brief, but repentance is long.

Votes should be weighed not counted.
