Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.

A word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.

If youth is a fault, it is one that one gets rid of soon enough.

Even though the world as a whole progresses, youth must always start again from the beginning, and as individuals go through the epochs of the world's culture.

A state of true and universal tolerance is best ensured by leaving alone the peculiarities of men and peoples.

I hate all explanations; they who make them deceive either themselves or the other party,-generally both.

A rainbow which lasts for a quarter of an hour is looked at no longer.
