The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief.

The person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe.

If everyone sweeps before his own front door, then the street is clean.

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.

The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.

A state of true and universal tolerance is best ensured by leaving alone the peculiarities of men and peoples.

We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
