He who cannot love must learn to flatter.

Only learn to seize good fortune, for good fortune's always here.

I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.

Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!

Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.

Yet here I stand poor fool what more, not one wit wiser than before.

The flowers are full of honey, but only the bee finds out the sweetness.
