“Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.”

Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.

Dare to be wrong and to dream.

To save all we must risk all.

I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.

As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe.

Art is difficult, transient is her reward.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.

The rich become richer and the poor become poorer is a cry heard throughout the whole civilized world.

We are too prone to find fault; let us look for some of the perfections.

Even in a righteous cause force is a fearful thing.

The very plants turn with a joyful transport to the light.

It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.

Obedience decks the Christian most.

Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action.

The man who fears nothing is as powerful as he who is feared by everybody.

The future was with Fate. The present was our own.

The truth is that Fate does not go out of its way to be dramatic.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.

Be active! Take on responsibility! Work for the things you believe in. If you do not, you are surrendering your fate to others.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together,but do so with all your heart.

I believe that every interaction is an act of fate in some way, that we’re meant to interact with them, and it’s our job to flesh that out and experience it to the fullest and learn the lessons we’re meant to.

You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.
