Quote

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word: excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it

We come too late to say anything which has not been said already

Everything has been said, and we have come too late, now that men have been living and thinking for seven thousand years and more

There, that is our secret: go to sleep! You will wake, and remember, and understand

In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity; On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that's vanity

If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday
