Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
I never knew a more presumptuous person than myself. The fact that I say that shows that what I say is true.
That I be not as those are who spend the day in complaining of headache and the night in drinking the wine which gives the headache!
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
A clever man commits no minor blunders.
If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.
Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.
I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
