"On the mountains there is freedom!The world is perfect everywhere,Save where man comes with his torment."
"Don't let your heart depend on thingsThat ornament life in a fleeting way!He who possesses, let him learn to lose,He who is fortunate, let him learn pain."

"What the inner voice saysWill not disappoint the hoping soul."
"Das Leben ist Nur ein Moment, der Tod ist auch nur einer!"

"Life is only error,And death is knowledge."
"There are three lessons I would write, — Three words — as with a burning pen,In tracings of eternal lightUpon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow, — No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven, — The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, — Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one, But men, as man, thy brothers call; And scatter, like the circling sun, Thy charities on all. Thus grave these lessons on thy soul, — Hope, Faith, and Love, — and thou shalt find Strength when life's surges rudest roll, Light when thou else wert blind."
