Passion flees! Love must remain, The flower withers, The fruit must sprout.
Art is a daughter of freedom.
Only he is happy who does not owe happiness to happiness.
The educated man makes nature his friend and honors freedom by merely curbing its arbitrariness.
The earth has room for everyone.
The best dreams of freedom are dreamt in the dungeon.
The only thing there is to learn about life can be summarized in three words: It goes on!
A lie is like a snowball; the longer you roll it, the bigger it gets.
Those who do not venture beyond reality will never conquer the truth.
