It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. 

We must feel and be affected by it.

It is lamentable that to be a good patriot 

one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.

Let us read and let us dance — 

two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.

The ear is the avenue to the heart.

It is dangerous to be right in matters 

on which the established authorities are wrong.

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.

The true triumph of reason 

is that it enables us
to get along with 

those who do not possess it.

Love is a canvas 

furnished by nature 

and embroidered by imagination.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: 

It makes what is excellent in others 

belong to us as well.

No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking.
