Beauty vanishes; virtue is lasting.

All that is transitory is but a metaphor.

Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.

Miracle is the pet child of faith.

There is nothing more frightful than for a teacher to know only what his scholars are intended to know.

Every day look at a beautiful picture, read a beautiful poem, listen to some beautiful music, and if possible, say some reasonable thing.

Nothing is more fearful than imagination without taste.
