 A man's thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view. |
| The face is the soul of the body. |
| There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap. |

| Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep. |
| I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves. |

| The limits of my language means the limits of my world. |
| A confession has to be part of your new life. |
| Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it. |
| Our greatest stupidities may be very wise. |
| It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played. |
| It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him. |
