Life is but a preparation for what there is to come.

In comradeship is danger countered best.

Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then; soon, you too, will have peace.

Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.

We talk too much. We should talk less and draw more.

Who longs in solitude to live, Ah! soon his wish will gain: Men hope and love, men get and give, and leave him to his pain.

He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.
