Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.

A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.

Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.

Every true genius is bound to be naive.

Worthless is the nation that does not gladly stake its all on its honor.

Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.
