“「Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose in the family.」”

“「Solitude was my only consolation deep dark deathlike solitude」”

“「Beware for I am fearless and therefore powerful but it is wonder that makes me truly alive」”

“「The soul that has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere is to be nowhere.」”

“「The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.」”
