Thou Shalt Abstain, Renounce, Refrain.

One Should Not Wish Anyone Disagreeable Conditions Of Life; But For Him Who Is Involved In Them By Chance, They Are Touchstones Of Characters And Of The Most Decisive Value To Man.

Plunge Boldly Into The Thick Of Life, And Seize It Where You Will, It Is Always Interesting.

One Says A Lot In Vain, Refusing; The Other Mainly Hears The "no."

A Teacher Who Can Arouse A Feeling For One Single Good Action, For One Single Good Poem, Accomplishes More Than He Who Fills Our Memory With Rows And Rows Of Natural Objects, Classified With Name And Form.

One Must Not Criticize That Which Is Common Since It Remains Always The Same.
