| When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it. |
| Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind. |
| Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter. |
| Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience. |
| The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively. |
| Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings. |
| Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. |
| There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. |
| When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him. |
