Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.

Nothing can have value without being an object of utility.

The question whether truth is necessary, must not merely be affirmed beforehand, but must be affirmed to such an extent that the principle, belief, or conviction finds expression, that there is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only a secondary value.

Whatever has value in our world now does not have value in itself, according to its nature - nature is always value-less, but has been given value at some time, as a present - and it was we who gave and bestowed it.

The value of an idea lies in the using of it.

Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.
