The thousand mysteries around us would not trouble but interest us, if only we had cheerful, healthy hearts. The miserable have no other medicine but hope. The doer alone learneth. Faith is not wanting to know what is true. The best friend is likely to acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship. Without music, life would be an error. Success has always been a great liar. One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow. Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride. |
