What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.

Just as, out of habit, one consults a run-down clock as though it were still going, so too one may look at the face of a beautiful woman as though he still loved her.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.

Children, love one another, and if that is not possible-at least try to put up with one another.

We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for.

Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.

One should not search for anything behind the phenomena. They themselves are the message.
