Value

Wisdom outweighs any wealth

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing

Things only have the value that we give them

The value of life ist not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet very little

It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.

What good would it be to possess the whole universe if one were its only survivor?

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

In our good works nothing is our own

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well

Children's games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity

By far the best proof is experience

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it form him

Life’s most presistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything

A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice

The virtue of the candle lies not in the wax, but in its light
