The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.
There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.
Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.
Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.
