Quote

Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains; but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them

Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain

I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings

Change in all things is sweet
