I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it. I must govern the clock not be governed by it. Those who do not know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either. Don't be so humble - you are not that great. If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Life is a great surprise.
I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. The secret of success is to know something nobody else knows. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
