The Spirit From Which We Act Is

If Children Grew Up According To Early Indications, We Should Have Nothing But Geniuses.

A Man's Shortcomings Are Taken From His Epoch; His Virtues And Greatness Belong To Himself.

Everyone Holds His Fortune In His Own Hands, Like A Sculptor The Raw Material He Will Fashion Into A Figure. But It's The Same With That Type Of Artistic Activity As With All Others: We Are Merely Born With The Capability To Do It. The Skill To Mold The Material Into What We Want Must Be Learned And Attentively Cultivated.

No Prudent Antagonist Thinks Light Of His Adversaries.

How Happy He Who Can Still Hope To Lift Himself From This Sea Of Error! What We Know Not, That We Are Anxious To Possess, And Cannot Use What We Know.
