In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to that path which nature has marked out for him.

Our modern wars make many unhappy while they last and none happy when they are over.

Treat a person as they are, they will remain so. Treat a person the way that person can be and is capable of being and that person will become as he or she can be and should be.

The world remains ever the same.

Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.
