I beg you take courage; the brave soul can mend even disaster.

Nothing is more difficult, in my opinion, than to avoid something that fundamentally attracts you.

In my position you have to read when you want to write and to talk when you would like to read.

I like to praise and reward in a loud voice and to scold in a whisper.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

I cannot live one day without love.

Power without a nation's confidence is nothing.
