Work and thou canst escape the reward; whether the work be fine or course, planting corn or writing epics, so only it be honest work, done to thine own approbation, it shall earn a reward to the senses as well as to the thought.

What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.

To be great, you must be misunderstood

Society does not love its unmaskers.

Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.

There can be no excess to love, none to knowledge, none to beauty.

Man exists for his own sake and not to add a laborer to the State.
