Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.

Whereof one cannot speak, 

thereof one must be silent.

There is no royal road to learning; 

no short cut to the acquirement of any art.

Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.

Chase after the truth like all hell 

and you'll free yourself, 

even though you never touch its coat tails.

If you feel yourself to be above the mass, 

speak so as to raise the mass 

to the height of your argument.

The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.

To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilisation.

Always be a poet, 

even in prose.

Faith is a passionate intuition.

Only that in you which is me 

can hear what I'm saying.

It's necessary to be slightly underemployed 

if you are to do something significant.

The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.

Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come 

when life seems most challenging.
