The look of a king is itself a deed.

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.

See, indeed, that your daughter is thoroughly grounded and experienced in household duties; but take care, through religion and poetry, to keep her heart open to heaven.

A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.

The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.

Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.

God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.
