Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
