Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.

If you begin by sacrificing yourself to those you love$$$ you will end by hating those to whom you have sacrificed yourself.

Martyrdom$$$ sir$$$ is what these people like: it is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.

It's all that the young can do for the old$$$ to shock them and keep them up to date.

To be in hell is to drift; to be in heaven is to steer.

You have learnt something. That always feels at first as if you have lost something.

The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment... We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet$$$ like the ghost of Hamlet's father$$$ this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it.

You can get help from teachers$$$ but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself$$$ sitting alone in a room.

Treat a work of art like a prince: let it speak to you first.

Life is a useless passion.
