"Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest.[Ger., Wo viel Licht is, ist starker Schatten.]”

“True happiness springs from moderation.”

“Never by reflection, but only by doing is self- knowledge possible to one.”

“Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.”

“Be merry; you have cause, so have we all, of joy; for our escape is much beyond our loss . . . . then wisely weigh our sorrow with our comfort.”

“I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our eyes.”

“As human, we all have the same human potential, unless there is some sort of retarded brain function. The wonderful human brain is the source of our strength and the source of our future, provided we utilize it in the right direction. If we use the brilliant human mind in the wrong way, it is really a disaster.”

“It is foolish to pluck out one's hair for sorrow, as if grief could be assuaged by baldness.”

“Arrogance is ever accompanied by folly.”
