In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact Picture Quote #1

Morality has been conceived up to the present in a very narrow spirit, as obedience to a law, as inner struggle between opposite laws. As for me, I declare that when I do good I obey no one, I fight no battle and win no victory. The cultivated person has only to follow the delicious incline of his or her inner impulses. Be beautiful and then do at each moment whatever your heart may inspire you to do. This is the whole of morality Picture Quote #1

A nation has a soul, a spiritual principle. One is in the past, the other in the present. One is the possession of a rich legacy of memories; the other is the desire to live together and to value the common heritage Picture Quote #1

Good humor is a philosophic state of mind; it seems to say to nature that we take her no more seriously than she takes us Picture Quote #1

No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life Picture Quote #1
