The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.

Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.

The iron chain and the silken cord are both equally bonds.

Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.

The key to education is the experience of beauty.

Sorrow is brief but joy is endless

The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
