I have begun in old age to understand...that we seldom if ever realize how generous we are to ourselves, and just how stingy with others.

Nobody asks you to love the whole world, only to be honest, ehrlich. Don't have a loud mouth. The more you love people the more they'll mix you up. A child loves, a person respects. Respect is better than love.

Everybody knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thing, you hold down the adjoining.
