I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.
What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.
When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.
A plant is like a self-willed man, out of whom we can obtain all which we desire, if we will only treat him his own way.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Win for yourself that which your fathers have won.
