Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.
The world resembles a stage on which every man is playing a part.
What a picture of a better world you have given us, Mozart!
A man endures misfortune without complaint.
No one feels another's grief.
It sometimes seems to me as if I do not belong to this world at all. I deplore music that engenders in people not love but madness: which rouses them to scornful laughter instead of lifting their thoughts to God.
