One must steer, not talk.
There has not been any great talent without an element of madness. -Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit

The rust of the mind is the destruction of genius.
The mind should be allowed some relaxation, that it may return to its work all the better for the rest.
It is the property of a great and good mind to covet, not the fruit of good deeds, but good deeds themselves, and to seek for a good man even after having met with bad men.
