Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I do not speak of what I cannot praise.
Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one.
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Who is the most sensible person? The one who finds what is to their own advantage in all that happens to them.
Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.
Where is the man who has the strength to be true, and to show himself as he is?
When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.
What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
