Work, which makes a man free, and thought, which makes him worthy of freedom.

As we have explained, in first love the soul is taken long before the body; later the body is taken long before the soul; sometimes the soul is not taken at all.

You say, "Where goest Thou?" I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more; believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.

It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.

It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.

By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.

Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
