 Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always turning up your whole soil with the ploughshare of self-examination, but leave a little fallow corner in your heart ready for any seed the winds may bring... |
| Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority |
| Liberty, equality - bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness. |
| Life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of those who travel the way with us. Oh, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind. |
| Life is short. Be swift to love! Make haste to be kind! |
| Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart. |
| Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false. |
| Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false. |
| Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe. |
| Men forget but never forgive. Women forgive but never forget. |
| Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both. |
| Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven |
| Mutual respect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one's own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude. |
| Nothing is more characteristic of a man than the manner in which he behaves toward fools. |
| Order is a great person's need and their true well being. |
