If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking.
