Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other.
Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world, have been achieved by poor men poor scholars, poor professional men, poor artisans and artists, poor philosophers, poets, and men of genius.
