Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.

I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.

Classicism is health, romanticisim is sickness.

No one would talk much in society if they knew how often they misunderstood others.

Idea and experience will never coincide in the center; only through art and action are they united.

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

You shall abstain, shall abstain. That is the eternal song.
