Solid Quotes

All freed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.
