It is in the half fools and the half wise that the greatest danger lies.

The best genius is that which absorbs and assimilates everything without doing the least violence to its fundamental destiny.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

You can put up with everything in this world except not with a long stretch of beautiful days.

The most difficult thing is what is thought to be the simplest; to really see the things which are before your eyes.
