What we love to do we find time to do.

We are more disturbed by a calamity which threatens us than by one which has befallen us.

A liberal education is that which aims to develop faculty without ulterior views of profession or other means of gaining a livelihood. It considers man an end in himself and not an instrument whereby something is to be wrought. Its ideal is human perfection.

As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape.

If there were nothing else to trouble us, the fate of the flowers would make us sad.

Whoever has freed himself from envy and bitterness may begin to try to see things as they are.
