The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety.

We can stand only a certain amount of unhappiness; anything beyond that annihilates us or passes us by, leaving us apathethetic.

Beauty vanishes; virtue is lasting.

I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

New inventions can and will be made; however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.

A man's foibles are what makes him lovable.

The ideal of beauty is simplicity and tranquility.
