"Liberality is not giving much, but giving..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“In reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself; you will see it, perhaps, often in this history; for, even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility.”

“He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.”

“Forewarn'd, forearm'd.”

“When you think about growing and being empowered yourself, it is what you've been able to do for other people that leaves you the fullest.”

“Every person I have known who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others.”

“For to give is the business of the rich.[Lat., Denn Geben ist Sache des Reichen.]”

“Our most important problems cannot be solved; they must be outgrown.”

“You should not confuse your career with your life.”

“The near explains the far. The drop is a small ocean. A man is related to all nature. This perception of the worth of the vulgar is fruitful in discoveries. Goethe, in this very thing the most modern of the moderns, has shown us, as none ever did, the genius of the ancients.”
