How little can we foresee the consequences either of wise or unwise action, of virtue or of malice. Without this measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

Courage is the greatest virtue because it guarantees all the rest.

O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.

Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.

Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.

When our universe is in harmony with man, the eternal, we know it as truth, we feel it as beauty.
