“The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes”

“The man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.”

“Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.”

“I should like to paint like an man who has never seen a painting, but this man – myself – lives in a museum.”

“He is the only man…who has any political sense. Go and listen to him one day.”

“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.”
Non qui parum habet, sed qui plus cupit, pauper est.

“The man who has never made a mistake has no need of an eraser; just so the man who has never done anything wrong has no need of a Redeemer.”

“A man who catches History's eye is thereafter bound to a mistress from whom he will never escape.”

“For every man the world is as fresh as it was at the first day, and as full of untold novelties for him who has the eyes to see them.”

“The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.”
