We are shaped and fashioned by what we love
Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
A good man, through obscurest aspirations Has still an instinct of the one true way.
Only learn to seize good fortune, for good fortune's always here.
The world sees only the reflection of merit; therefore when you come to know a really great man intimately, you may as often find him above as below his reputation.
