No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.

There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.

The people rate strength before everything.

You can’t, if you can’t feel it, if it never Rises from the soul, and sways The heart of every single hearer, With deepest power, in simple ways. You’ll sit forever, gluing things together, Cooking up a stew from other’s scraps, Blowing on a miserable fire, Made from your heap of dying ash. Let apes and children praise your art, If their admiration’s to your taste, But you’ll never speak from heart to heart, Unless it rises up from your heart’s space.

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.

Let no one be like another, yet everyone like the highest. How is this done? Be each one perfect in himself.

Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
