Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.

Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant. There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks.

Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.

Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent.

All our science calculates with abstracted individual external marks, which do not touch the inner existence of any single thing

Everyone loves his own country, customs, language, wife, children, not because they are the best in the world, but because they are his established property, and he loves in them himself, and the labor he has bestowed on them. The working of revolutions, therefore, misleads me no more; it is as necessary to our race as its waves to the stream, that it may not be a stagnant marsh. Ever renewed in its forms, the genius of humanity blossoms.

What destiny sends, bear! Whoever perseveres will be crowned.
