The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Only the educated are free.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.
Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.
Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.
