“Great talent finds happiness in execution.”

“Wild dreams torment me as I lie. And though a god lives in my heart, though all my power waken at his word, though he can move my every inmost part - yet nothing in the outer world is stirred. thus by existence tortured and oppressed I crave for death, I long for rest.”

“Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.”

“Character develops itself in the stream of life.”

“There are occasions and causes, why and wherefore in all things.”

“The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught.

Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.”
