“The lemonade is weak, like your soul.”

Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.

Courage, ne’er by sorrow broken! Aid where tears of virtue flow; Faith to keep each promise spoken! Truth alike to friend and foe!

Chains of iron or of silk-both are chains.

Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.

It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we shall one day know as truth.

Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.

There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.

It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so.

Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.

Be true, and thou shalt fetter time with everlasting chain.

A virtuous name is the precious only good, for which queens and peasants’ wives must contest together.

The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.

Heaven and earth fight in vain against a dunce!

Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.

Never the grave gives back what it has won!

Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.

A beautiful soul has no other merit than its own existence.

The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.

Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.

In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.

I never leave anything behind. It’s like a history, a chain, a line of life, you just have to move and make new steps, and keep it evolving – but my soul is my soul.

She’s never silent, you can always listen her soul speaking the tongue of poetry.

You fill every part of my soul the way sunlight fills spaces of earth.

The mind is the eyesight of the soul.
