If I work incessantly until my death, nature will give me another form of existence when the present can no longer sustain my spirit. - [Soul] To measure up to all that is demanded of him, a man must overestimate his capacities. - [Capacity] To the man of thought almost nothing is really ridiculous. - [Ridicule] To understand that the sky is everywhere blue, we need not go round the world. - [Sky] Displaying page 12 of 21 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 [12] 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
