"There is no genius who hasn't a..." - Quote by Aristotle

“The only way to achieve true success is to express yourself completely in service to society.”

“People generally despise where they flatter.”

“The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case.”

“The best that Gauss has given us was likewise an exclusive production. If he had not created his geometry of surfaces, which served Riemann as a basis, it is scarcely conceivable that anyone else would have discovered it.

“No nation has produced anything like his equal. There is no quality in the human mind, there is no class of topics, there is no region of thought, in which he has not soared or descended, and none in which he has not said the commanding word.”

“The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.”

“To the man with an ear for verbal delicacies- the man who searches painfully for the perfect word, and puts the way of saying a thing above the thing said - there is in writing the constant joy of sudden discovery, of happy accident.”

“Every word first looks around in every direction before letting itself be written down by me.”

“A rush of thoughts is the only conceivable prosperity that can come to us.”
