I have enjoyed the happiness of the world; I have loved.

The key to education is the experience of beauty.

To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.

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.

Innocence has a friend in heaven.

He, that noble prize possessing He that boasts a friend that's true, He whom woman's love is blessing, Let him join the chorus too!

I speak with the Eternal through the instrument of nature, through the world's history: I read the soul of the artist in his Apollo.
