När jag hör musik fruktar jag ingen fara. Jag är oövervinnerlig. Jag ser ingen fiende. Jag är besläktad med de tidigaste tider och med de senaste.

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

Modgang

I have lived some thirty years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors.

Råd

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Affärslivet

There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.

Valg

Gå tryggt i dina drömmars riktning. Lev det livet du har drömt om.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Anförtroende

The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?

Vänskap - trevlig

I had three chairs in my house: one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society

Vänskap - trevlig

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.

Død

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Riktning

I belive that there is a subtile magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. It is not indifferent to us which way we walk. There is a right way; but we are very liable from heedlessness and stupidity to take the wrong one. We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction, because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.

Riktning

Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.

Misstro

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

Entusiasme

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

Berømmelse

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

Mote

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

Farväl
