Each one sees what he carries in his heart.

Anything in the world can be endured, except a series of wonderful days.

What's foreign one can't always keep quite clear of,For good things, oft, are not so near;A German can't endure the French to see or hear of,Yet drinks their wines with hearty cheer.

How many years you have to keep on doing until you know what to do and how to do!
