Art is the stored honey of the human soul.

The life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest$$$ truthful$$$ and virtuous.

If there is no struggle$$$ there is no progress.

Don't get it right$$$ get it written.

I punish myself for my whole life$$$ my whole life I punish.

Be the sun and all will see you.

A beast can never be as cruel as a human being$$$ so artistically$$$ so picturesquely cruel.

The excellence of a residence is in (the suitability of) the place.

I utter what you would not dare think.

We sometimes encounter people$$$ even perfect strangers$$$ who begin to interest us at first sight$$$ somehow suddenly$$$ all at once$$$ before a word has been spoken.
