Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Here man is no longer the center of the world, only a witness, but a witness who is also a partner in the silent life of Nature, bound by secret affinities of the trees.

What you must dare: is to be yourself.

Never let success hide its emptiness from you, achievement its nothingness, toil its desolation. And so...keep alive the incentive to push on further, that pain in the soul which drives us beyond ourselves...Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward - your destiny - are here and now.

If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. They will make note of this and not remain in your debt long.

Beneath the hush a whisper from long ago, promising peace of mind and a burden shared. No peace which is not peace for all, no rest until all has been fulfilled.

The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
