If you wish to be loved, love

He who boasts of his descent, praises the deeds of another

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage

You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know

He who is brave is free

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable

The wish for healing has always been half of health

A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer

Love in its essence is spiritual fire

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

All art is but imitation of nature

While we are postponing, life speeds by

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one
