| �All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.�
�All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.� �And here, poor fool, with all my lore I stand no wiser than before.� �Architecture is frozen music.� �Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.� �Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think of it again.� �Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity.� �Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers!� �If any man wishes to write a clear style, let him first be clear in his thoughts.� �It is the great triumph of genius to make the common appear novel.� �Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.� �Knowing is not enough; We must apply. Willing is not enough; We must do.� �Life is the childhood of our immortality.� �Nothing is worth more than this day.� �One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if possible, speak a few reasonable words.� �Remember to Live.� �Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die.� �Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.� |
