Seneca

Non deformitate corporis foedatur animus, sed pulchritudine animi corpus ornatur.
(Nicht wird durch die Entstellung des Körpers die Seele entstellt, sondern durch die Schönheit der Seele der Körper geschmückt.)

Gedanken

Ratio ist der Weg durch den Wald unseres Lebens – Gefuehle sind die Fähigkeiten, welche die Wege begehbar, die Ziele erreichbar machen und ihnen einen Sinn zuweisen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Success:

To laugh often and much,
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children,
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition,
To know that even one life has breathed

Better because you have lived,
This is to have succeeded.
