“「The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.」”

“「Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.」”

“「The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and the unforeseen.」”

“「Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.」”

“「I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze.」”

“「Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.」”

“「Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.」”
