He who never ventures beyond actuality will never win the prize of truth.

Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.

That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.

To the fool-king belongs the world.

Death is a mighty mediator. There all the flames of rage are extinguished, hatred is appeased, and angelic pity, like a weeping sister, bends with gentle and close embrace over the funeral urn.

I feel that I am a man of destiny.

Honor women! they entwine and weave heavenly roses in our earthly life.
