"Whoever strenuously endeavors, him we can rescue...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.”

“The world of empirical morality consists for the most part of nothing but ill will and envy.”

“Give me those days with heart in riot, The depths of bliss that touched on pain, The force of hate, and love's disquiet- Ah, give me back my youth again!”

“Of course, this has its good side as well as its bad one. As we become permanent drunkards by so may separate drinks, so we become saints in the moral, and authorities and experts in the practical and scientific spheres, by so many separate acts and hours of work. Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself.”

“Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.”

“Nathaniel Hawthorne once said that easy reading is damn hard writing.”

“The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one's ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one's willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away.”

“Some people are so worn down by the yoke of oppression that they give up.”

“When one approach is not working to reach the desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it is time to devise another approach.”
