When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

It is not worth the while to let our imperfections disturb us always.

We perceive that the schemers return again and again to common sense and labor. Such is the evidence of history.

Life is so short that it is not wise to take roundabout ways, nor can we spend much time in waiting.... We have not got half-way to dawn yet.

Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.
