“If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research.”

The life of a man consists in active charity and in willing service.

Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.

Nature does nothing in vain.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy.

Everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is aroused to self-conscious activity.
