Quotes

As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom. Above all things, reverence yourself. There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres. Silence is better than unmeaning words. Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself. Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life. Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion. No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself. Do not talk a little on many subjects, but much on a few.
