We know from daily life that we exist for other people first of all, for whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.

Ein Freund ist ein Mensch, der die Melodie deines Herzen kennt und sie dir vorspielt, wenn du sie vergessen hast.

However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.

The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.
