Everything That Is Really Great And Inspiring Is

"Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing."

"“That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.”"

"Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way."

"The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude."

"“Success has always been the greatest liar - and the "work" itself is a success; the great statesman, the conqueror, the discoverer is disguised by his creations, often beyond recognition; the "work," whether of the artist or the philosopher, invents the man who has created it, who is supposed to have create it; "great men," as they are venerated, are subsequent pieces of wretched minor fiction”"

"Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power"
