Deeply earnest and thoughtful people stand on shaky footing with the public.

The eternal feminine draws us on high.

The man who acts never has any conscience; no one has any conscience but the man who thinks

Thought expands, but paralyzes; action animates, but narrows.

To be sure, we have inherited abilities, but our development we owe to thousands of influences coming from the world around us from which we appropriate what we can and what is suitable to us.

The best genius is that which absorbs and assimilates everything without doing the least violence to its fundamental destiny.

He who serves the public is a poor animal; he worries himself to death and no one thanks him for it.
