If we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last.
The secret in education lies in respecting the student.
All life is an experiment.
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
Patience and fortitude conquer all things.
When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we can know.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words.
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
