"Things which matter most must never be..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“All truths are old, and all that we have to do is recognize and utter them anew.”

“Everything factual is, in a sense, theory. The blue of the sky exhibits the basic laws of chromatics. There is no sense in looking for something behind phenomena: they are theory.”

“When two people are really happy about one another one can generally assume they are mistaken.”

“It is very wrong for people to feel deeply sad when they lose some money, yet when they waste the precious moments of their lives they do not have the slightest feeling of repentance.”

“The things you have that money won't buy are the things that will enable you to get more of the things that money will buy.”

“I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.”

“To play down mothering as small is to crack the very foundation on which greatness stands.”

“In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character.”

“Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important.”
